Back to the dash again...
I made a 3rd incarnation of my dials to try and get a better colour in them and also wanted better light distribution so on ebay I got..
..a 5m length of 12V warm white LED strip and cost just £10 delivered. Bargain.
I planned to stick it around the inside of the dash like this as it has adhesive back. Nothing will stick to that white plastic the dash is made of so I ended up drilling holes around the outside and it will be held in by thin white zipties.
The light and colour is bang on now. I will be machining some individual dial surrounds that will block out all the excess light you can see around, as the electrical tape is doing here on the speedo and tacho.
Cheers
