Re: NEW batch of New BRIGHT ORANGE OE Dial Replica's now in stock; INC's km/h dial :)

As I discussed on THIS THREAD a few weeks ago I've been looking into getting some replica OE Dial sets made so all of us who are fed up of looking at those sun bleached LIGHT PINK dials we have in our cars with nice new BRIGHT ORANGE ones :D

Well today I've had a response back from my supplier with an initial proof showing the dial design. Please have a look at the PDF which I've uploaded at the bottom of this post. I've also uploaded a picture graciously supplied by Bill showing a BRAND NEW set of OE dials so you can compare the two.

Because of the manufacturing process there are a couple of little differences which have both been pointed out to me and i have noticed myself and they are:

1. Their are not as many graduations on both the Turbo Boost Gauge and Rev-counter at the higher boost/RPM areas of the gauge becasue the concern would be that that the markings would not be as clear as the OE ones if they tried to replicate them EXACTLY becasue their would be "bleed" between the graduations.
2. Below the Jaeger manufacturers mark on the main Speedometer there's not the white Jaeger manufacturers code. I've not spoken to them about this as yet? Is this something which you guys would like on the clocks for the full OE apperance or can you live without it?? Maybe we could slightly alter the code to have some RTOC reference if we want to be cute?! (like RTOC-09) ;)

The guys have already said in their e-mail "Obviously it is not possible to show the colours correctly on the PDF, but on the actual print we will get as close as possible" so don't worry about them looking a bit wishy-washy at the moment.

I'm intending these dials to TOTALY REPLACE the OE dials your car was supplied with so would have to dismantle your dash & remove the old dial covers to ensure the illumination is correct. I'll write a how to for the "Guides" section as & when we get these made for those of you who are concerned about taking your dials apart.

At the moment I'd like the people that WANT TO COMMIT to having a set made to make themselves known on this post & any questions/comments to be raised also so I can get an modifications done PRIOR to commencing manufacture.

I'M AIMING FOR THE PRICE TO BE £35 FOR EACH SET OF DIALS & THEIR WILL BE A MINIMUM PURCHASE OF 20 PEOPLE

Any chance of them printing the zero point ref' dots on each dial as well? Not the end of the world if they can't; just it makes aligning the needle to the correct base point more easier when refitting them.

Either way, I'll have a set please mate.

What I was going to do was take a digital picture of my gauges to see where the zero point was before I started to pull them apart so I can put the needles back to the points on reassembly.

I've noticed that some gauges have different zero points so I don't think their is a standardised set point?

Me too.Just tell me the payment details since I live in Greece.

I'm in!

I can see a lot of low mileage 5's coming out of the woodwork....:agree:

Im in add me to the list... just hope i can drive the 5. (just for bill) LOL

If you look right at the edge of each dial fascia/overlay, there should be a tiny dot - That's ya zero ref' point that the needle should point to when re-fitting.

I can't see that point on the pics of Bill's gauges?? I'll dig another set out i've got in the garage & see if I can find it??

and does it possible this to add have the list? :ashamed:
how does that this master key for the payment and send it for French?:ashamed:

it there ace a date stop to place order? :cool:

It's a tiny dot. Even Hubble would struggle to find the dot just going from Bill's pictures ;)

there is obviously no concern over copywrite, ie - using the 'jaeger' brand name so im guessing they can use the serial number too? Personally, id prefer exact copies. If the serial number is a problem, then leaving it blank would get my vote.

Meant to have a good gander at mine last night, but didn't. But I agree with the above.

i also argee with this :)

Will they be offering the different fuel guages as I think there are 3 different kinds?

I would be interested in the above. I have the fuel gauge in the picture rather than the PDF.

Agree :agree:, the more exact and original the better.



I did look at mine while driving today and thought

1. Is the black going to match the rest of the parts in the dash
2. I assume the coloured parts behind the fuel light for example are not a problem?.

:ashamed:

Right then Gents in answer to all of the questions....

Salut Jean,

Si vous désirez ajouter votre nom à cette liste et acheter quelques cadrans en MPH alors s'il vous plaît, mais ne voudriez-vous pas certains faits en km / h pour vous et le reste des gars en Europe??

Pensez-vous que vous pouvez vendre 20 jeux en europe?? Si oui je vais avoir un mot avec le constructeur et voir s'il peut fabriquer une pour vous les gars? ;)

If the dot's that small then I think we can all live without it! ;) Just take a picture of the clocks with your pikey digital camera before you remove the needles so you know where to put them back on. You Geezer!

Copyright? Balls to Copyright! :laugh: We're going to the effort of getting these made becasue Renault won't support us so I can't see Jaeger getting the hump! I don't actually know if Jaeger are still going??:confused: I would like to see the lilttle code on the bottom of the dials so shall I just ask them to copy the code that are on the set of dials that they're recreating?

The fuel gauge dial being recreated is the one shown in the PDF document in my initial post. Do people want me to look into getting another version manufactured?? This may push the cost up for all parties?

It will be the same black on all clocks as they will be printed together. As for matching the dial surround... I guess so?

As for the coloured lights I'm going to ask them the same question next week as i was having the same thought :scratch:

:laugh: i just meant some repro companies may refuse to print brand names for copyright reasons etc . . anyway, if they dont give a fook, they'll surely crack on with the serial number/code too :) as for the number/code itself, was it any different from one car to another - doubtful id guess? Crack on with the one you have.

To elaborate, I mean the side strips for lights/indicators :)

Not the greatest pic, but thought this might help (saves having to keep running outside and have a look anyway) only difference being the mentioned code number.

For what it's worth, I'd personally rather have the fuel gauge increments as per Bill's picture, if available/possible.

So what's the story with the different style of fuel gauge? Is it different year of manufacture/different plants or what?

:dearme: Janky Caaaaaaa....... :wasntme:

Ok let me have a look through my old dial collection & see if I've got a fuel gauge with the older design on & get it sent over to the Manufacturer.

:laugh:

As I say mate, only if it's possible. If not, I'll still have a set, a la your pdf file/picture.
