Seeing as we've got serious weather coming in, I don't tend to see daylight here very much, at least not the sunny or dry type!

Yeah mine is OEM. The dials are about the only thing on the car that I don't actually know where they came from. Researched the rest and now know what everything else is, but not so much the dials. When people see them most reactions are extremely positive, but if someone doesn't like them, then they hate them.

You don't see much sunny weather? If it wasn't so cold over there then I'd happily swap. The hottest month of the year where I am by average temperature is Febuary, and we're only in November and here in inland NSW at the moment we're sitting on 30 degrees Celsius(86F). You know the best bit? It is only 10:30AM

I'm expecting another summer full of 40+ weather...

If you ever come across the clock or voltmeter on their own, let me know as I'm missing them from my set. :(

Another one to add to the collection. I've been told by the owner of FTOOC that there were only 5 sets of these ever made:

Interesting with the tacho...
I assume the needle just keeps rotating until it hits the stopper, and just runs normally from there....
Hmmm, could make an interesting tacho with that...

Yep! The position of the 0 and 7 means the tacho works as intended. :)

I have exactly the same as shadowwarrior, but instead of red bits, they are blue, and light up blue.
