Them's the dogs danglies!

Very nice work indeed Mr Stot...:cool: :cool:
All I can say is you are a very clever chappy:)

Im changing the numbers on my dial design based on the Smiths Mini Classic dials. I also wasnt overly happy with the amount of light bleeding through the background on the dials when illuminated so I have added an extra 'mask' layer to these ones that is silver foiled to block the light.





Cant wait to see how these ones turn out. :cool:

I also had a go at making a new insert for the warning lights in the cluster because they would be upside down otherwise. Same process but omitting the paper layer.

The parts,


Layered up,


Light from behind.


I havent stuck these together yet but its looking promising.

MK2 dials. Based on the Smith mini speedo.




Much more retro looking I think, and the illumination doesn't bleed anywhere near as bad!

And the warning lights work a treat. :cool:

These are seriously good.
You could think about sharing your set up costs by making sets for other builders. A lot more cost effective than spending out on Smiths dials to achieve the same result.

Am liking your build ethos Andy....you obviously like things to be "right" or nowt else will do:) .....a trait I also suffer from, can be a pita sometimes tho:mad:

Theres way too much work in them for me to do that really. To make a set takes upwards of 3 hours to produce + design time. I must have put over 20 hours of design into these ones and made 3 sets of these Smiths ones before I got them right. :eek:

They cost me £15 for 50 sheets of acetate, £9 for the spray glue and £4 for a craft knife and hole punch set.

MX5Nuts guy is doing them for £35 a set.

Very Very Smart.

Sticking with the KAR 120C theme, red seats are called for...

Couldnt find anything new at a reasonable price, but ended up getting this pair of RX1110 Full leather red seats, with runners, for the price of some black vinyl Mamba Baby Cubs! :cool:



I'm in 2 minds as to use them as they are with their 'patina' or do a full colour restoration on them. Happy days!
