Hi all,

Have fitted my V6 g'box, which has gone in nicely - only issue is the speedo output is now shrouded by a chassis tube due to the box having gone back by 0.75 inch, making it a no go....

Am looking at taking the opportunity to redo my dash and fit an electronic speedo.

The RMD dials (i think made by revotec) appear really good vfm, but have read that they are not illuminated? - can anybody confirm and whether they have been able to add illumination?

Also looking at the Racetech dials, has anybody used these (electronic speedo), initial investigation suggests the senders are all metric so would need adaptors for my pinto.

Any other suggestions/sources appreciated.

Blake - that's great news, they definitely seem to be the best value, I was only put off by the illumination issue so if they are then sorted!

Cheers,

Greg

i bought them myself. theres a photo in my archive somewhere i think.
from what i remember (i've not installed them yet) they light up with conventional bulbs, so white round the outside and through the face, and the LCD odometer bit lights up green. they look real good quality, and really cheap too
