Yep got them thanks Ben.

Just a few quick questions to someone who has fit them please (KJ? Pleaseeee!) Is it really easy to remove the dial stops? Am I reading the instructions properly thinking I don't need to take the needles off. I've read other dial instructions, am I thinking correctly I should just follow some of these instructions if I need to more the dials?

should be no reason to that the needles out which is what I think you are asking.

Just go to any auto store (autobarn etc). and get a inline fuse holder for a glass fuse and get a 1amp glass fuse to fit in it.

Just put mine in, found like KJ that I had to cut the wires as the plugs don't fit through the bulb holders, although am having a few issues now.

Tacho isn't spinning freely, keeps stalling and isn't moving accuratly. Also I forgot to top up the fuel tank first so I'll have to leave the clear cover off until I fill up and then make sure the dial is at full. On top of all that I tested it before I secured everything and all was good but now it isn't getting power so I'll have to pull it out again.

Anybody got any ideas with the Tacho?

Try Pulling the tacho needle out a bit. Use the 2 teaspoon technique ;)

the problem is that the dials are not stuck down hard enough. its raised enough at the centre to stop the needle moving freely. double sided tape will fix it.

Yeah thats what I found in the end, the 1.5mm double sided tape I was using wasn't keeping it down enough, Now I just used some sticky tape doubled over on itself and works sweet ;)

Oh and heres another tip, don't let your bored father help with the wiring, took me another hour to fix the part he dodged up :roll: :lol: :? :oops:

I was going to do a DIY with some pics maggsy but after the issues I had you wouldn't want to follow my method of madness anyway, but trust me just take your time and you'll be fine, it is really easy.

I put them in this afternoon - very easy guys, just get out there and give it a go!

Taking it VERY slowly, lots of breaks, took 4hrs.
