Was that profanity.

At least you know you are ok with your dash now.

Leaving mine alone till engine change. Don't want a monumental coque up and loos most of the year.

[Guest 2b cruising]

As you said to Knownothing yesterday. Have a tube or two.

oh no not a total success although the backlight of the speedo is now working it is not bright enough to see it in the dark

this wot the illumination is like you cant see the speedo the difference in the brightness of the gauges is because the gauge faces are all slightly different angles in daylight not an issue at night very noticeable Edited April 5, 2015 by tractor

Like you say. Massive difference in illumination. However it is a really good looking dash.

I'm still on the horse douse Sierra carp.

You can do mine if you really want to. Lol.

I think I would commit suicide if had to go through that again

[Guest 2b cruising]

Nah. You know how to do it now.

[Guest 2b cruising]

The club expert.

Can you not replace the lighting in the speedo or is it a sealed unit?

its sealed had thought about drilling a hole and putting a bulb and holder in if I could do it without damaging speedo
