for all those interested here is a night time shot fitted to my dash. The blurred edges are infact reflections from my rings and aluminium cups.
As you can see i've got some red leds behind it to try and make the needles more red. Gonna try a different led which will hopefully improve the looks.
infact might even try super blue ones
Please excuse the photoshot, my camera is not too good at night shots

So guys how do you put in the fuel and engine temp one in?
I know the dials just slip in but as everyone know that the above one is joint as one..
Is there a trick as to how you would do this one?
Thanks,

Hi, fitting instructions is roughly the same as this
http://www.kato.enterprise.btinternet.c ... tall3.html
except you do not need to remove the bulbs and it is also suggested you fit a 1 amp inline fuse into teh positive power supply.
These dials are actually easier to fit than the previous version.
The extension cable should be connected the the last inverter plug.
The center gauge to install is to move each needle to the 10-12 o'clock position and slip it on from there.
Hope this helps everybody.

Is there any chance of finding any dials even part of the whole kit, for my oil temp and vac gauges which are part of the center console?

no... they would have to be custom made... there aren't enough of these out there to cover the cost of mass production (on a small scale)

from memory emtech should be able to make you custom EL dials, I think they're in SA.

Cool, thanks for that, do you have any idea, on the price, I would be looking at? Do you think, I can custome all the dials, is it worth it? Or should I only look at doing the oil temp and vac gauges?
I'll give em a call, soon, but thanks again.

depends on what you want...
if you like the current style then its probably best (and cheapest) to buy them and then ask emtech to make the others in the same style...
a one off they'll probably charge somewhere around 400-500 for
