Title: Thread with homemade dial faces???
Post by: Bullit on November 27, 2015, 09:04:17 PM: When I first joined the forum I see a thread where someone had made their own dial faces and telltale surround. Now I want to read it again I can't find it and I completely forgot what it's called.

Does anybody know what I'm referring too???

I have cleaned, refurbed, zero'd miles and made new clock faces myself. All I need is some new dial overlays. I have contacted Peter but unfortunately he doesn't supply them.

In the thread the guy had scanned his dials, touched up all the blemishes and printed. I'm trying to find out what he printed them on and how he stuck them on?

Post by: Bullit on November 28, 2015, 02:59:33 PM: Unfortunately not Trigger. In the thread the guy had made white dials and white label for telltale. Iv been through all the build threads and can't find it so Iv either missed it or it must be in a model specific section of the forum.

Thanks Chris, that is the guy I'm messaging at the moment to see if he can supply the correct ones as his listing for the 350f dials are wrong. All the US 350f's Iv found have 110mph speedo not 130mph.

If all else fails then I'll have to order from the states but didn't really want the dials lying around that long in pieces as something is likely to go missing.

Fitted to the very early 400f and some USA models, sure the dial face is the same size as a 350f but the mileage apertures are in different positions and the internal mechanism is different.

If you order from the USA it takes maybe 10 day at the outside.

Post by: Bodd on November 28, 2015, 10:41:54 PM: I made my own dial faces, on this (http://www.skylinesoftware.co.uk/400four9.html) page of my build log.

Post by: Bullit on November 29, 2015, 07:41:49 AM: Yes BODD Yes. No wonder I couldn't find the damn thing on here lol.

The best bit is I'm pretty sure Iv bookmarked your blog so I didn't have to go looking for it. Fool.
