Re: New BRIGHT ORANGE OE Dial Replica's

**Trevhib** · 10-11-2009, 10:04

32 out of 35 of the original is pretty darn good.

Who are the 3 originals who haven't coughed up in time? If there isn't a good reason, it needs to be noted for future group buys (i.e. payment is required up front from anyone who has previously let the side down).

**clee** · 10-11-2009, 13:28

All gone now people ..
Well done Big Steve for sorting this and all those that showed their support

I'm waiting on the envelopes still but have a made a start writing out all the address labels

**Brigsy** · 12-11-2009, 18:26

Look awesome fitted

**rat1** · 12-11-2009, 20:34

can't wait to get my dials.thought i have a go on an old set first as the speedo is broken it won't matter if i messed them up.i came up with this may be helpful if you can't get good picture .i used an old envelop as it was a bit stiffer ,cut it a bit bigger than the dial,the speedo and revcounter take out the screw and push through the paper an screw it back on hold it down an cut it to shape then mark the end of the needle,i found you have to have the clocks laying flat because of the balance weight in the needle.the fuel /oil/temperature gauges you have to take them out .after some time of being careful not to damage the little peg ,i thought was plastic but turned out to be metal,gave a good push from the back then gripped the top with a pear of pliers an twisted it out didn't seem to damage it.do the same as the speedo with the paper.becareful pulling the needle off.i hope this is helpful it worked for me.

**Hoolio** · 13-11-2009, 10:44

though I did wonder what the hell the envelope with the "Funky Dory Party Bags" sticker on the back actually was. Nice suprise

Both styles of fuel gauge as well, bonus.

**JRP** · 13-11-2009, 11:24

**Logg** · 13-11-2009, 11:26

Mine have turned up

**The new Bill J** · 13-11-2009, 18:44

Got mine this morning as well. I haven't had a chance to compare them to the originals in natural light yet, but they look pretty good

Thanks to Lee, Steve, Lockwood, anyone else, and of course myself

If another famous rtoc list is going to be started, would it be an idea to start a fresh thread, with a link to it in this one? Some people who missed out the first time round might miss a post in the middle of this (currently) 7 page thread.

**Alastair** · 13-11-2009, 19:10

Got mine today and have to say they are first class. Thanks to all involved, big up RTOC.

**raj** · 13-11-2009, 19:23

You mean like the one about 15 posts up Raj?

Removing the needles just needs some modified tweezers or some such to slide under the centre and pull upwards carefully.

sorry but the pics above arnt enough for me, all im saying is the last time i fitted a set of while dials, i prised the needles off but when i pressed them back on they didnt read the same as before

sooo im not really that confident on doing this

didnt someone mention they were going to do a "detailed"guide.?

**clee** · 13-11-2009, 19:49

Yeh ,It was Big Steve ...Lazy fecker ! Get on with it !
Then again it all depends on how good you are at following instruction

Aye, fair enough mate. No point in rushing and cocking it up if you're not confident.

**Wallace** · 13-11-2009, 23:07

BIG BIG THANKS!! Once again to Big Steve,Clee and Bill and any others involved in the group buy............

i dont think theres any reason not to stock a handful in the rtoc shop, they will sell to rtoc members or non members.. slip a set on ebay and i bet a few people would juice themselves at OE replacement dial covers

got your rtoc warehouse sorted yet?

**clee** · 14-11-2009, 16:31

Got the warehouse shelving ready for 30000 Bigfoot spark plugs ....due in next week
