    New dials

    I've just done my dials with the ones available in the club shop but now my water temp gauge isn't working. The needle was running freely and also my oil pressure isn't working but I think that is because the spinal came out when I tried to take the needle off. Any suggestions as to why it won't work??

    In sure they weren't as they moved freely. I didn't get chance to have a look tonight so I'll get at them tomorrow

    Dial kit from the club shop are awesome, I've got a set. Hard to pick up how deep the colour is properly on camera, well worth the money.

    Looking fresh from the factory, bet you notice the difference in daylight and when illuminated at night! Glad you got it sorted

    What adjustment did you do to fix this mate?

    It may be handy for others in the future.

    Truthfully I just pressed them on a bit firmer. i didn't want to damage the dials so was fairly gentle but in truth they are robust enough.

    Good to hear it works if you just give them a good shove lol.

    Your dials look great by the way
