removing and refitting the needles can be very tricky..i was lucky mine went over the needles

strange_days_uk

do you just stick them straight over the original black faces ?

They will slip over the needles - don\'t take the needles off, as it\'s very difficult to get them back in the correct place.

I\'ve fitted these to my FC - there is a right up on the forum - I will find the link

Have you fitted them to an FD ?

Can I def take the needles off ?

We have seen many Fds with those kits on. And more often than not one of the dials does no longer work, generally the Rev counter. So we do not recommend them to any customer. And personally I think they look cheap and nasty, and more suitable for a nova:)

if you really want white dials anyone wanna do a swap with me lol

I have just finished, actually think they look quite nice, although I do agree with the nova comment lol

Thank heavens I didn\'t breal anything, did have a couple of worrying moments ..

*Bowsy*

Nice one fella.
i\'ve just fitted these to mine after spraying my surround :) there growing on me.
i just hope mi glue holds :rollin the only problem i have now is that i removed the needles so i\'m not 100 % if i\'ve put them in the right place.

Is there anyway of checking if they are right other than refitting them back into FD as i\'m doing a rebuild on mine so most bits are out of the car :(

Couple of pics of mine,not everyones taste :)
