VISUAL-PERFORMANCE DIAL KITS :
All our dial kits include a basic fitting guide with some photographed illustrations on how to
fit our dials into the dash only, the fitting guide does not explain how to "remove or replace"
the dash in your vehicle.
BASIC FITTING EXAMPLE :
With our kits you will get a fitting guide, we are also available to give advice
regarding fitting by email or on the phone if required. The dials /pod would have to be
removed from the dashboard to gain access to the dial faces.
The majority of dashes do not require the needles to be removed to fit our kits.
( Some dial kits may require some needles to be removed due unfortunate layout of the dash).
but advise is available to refit and calibrate the needles.
The Centre holes in our dials are specially designed to allow the needles to slide into
position without removing them, also the great thing with our kits is no bulbs need to be changed
or replaced as these dial kits have there own built in ( el lighting).
With these dials you will also get a small transformer unit wired to a dimmer/Switch,
the dimmer is to allow adjustment to the brightness and the switch is to enable
you to change the colour of these dials from Blue and Red, to Green and Red.
The red and black wires from the transformer unit will connect to your dash lights to provide
power for the lighting,
You will require a couple of screwdrivers, a Stanley knife, and electric connectors.
This is one of those jobs that once you have done it the job, it is easier than you think.
You will need to cut a small grove V shaped, on the edge of the dash pod to allow the wires to
protrude from the dash.
Please note without being rude we will say if your not a do it your self type, then full advice
will be required.
All our dials are a high quality scratch resistant polycarbonate product with built in plasma/ EL lighting
that looks great when fitted in during the day and night.
We provide a full back up service and are always available by email and phone
if you require any advice regarding fitting.

IMPORTED VEHICLES :
When a vehicle is imported into the united kingdom they require an sva test, this is to
bring the vehicle to UK standards. one of the requirements is the speedo (km/h) conversion.
To pass the mot the vehicle will require the speedo to read in mph. The speedo must have a speedo with mph also km/h to pass an MOT
.
Two SVA conversion options that are used for imported vehicle conventions :
A / The original speedo 0-180km/h will be replaced with a 0-110mph dial face (180km/h = 110mph)
the electrics mechanics in the speedo dash will still operate in km/h and the trip will
continue to operate in km/h.
B/ The original speedo will have a speedo chip fitted, this will then convert all the speedo electrics/mechanics to operate in mph then the 0-180km/h dial face will have a bit of black tape put over the k so you will only see m/h = 180 m/h your complete speedo will then operate in mph and the trip mileage will from this point rotate in mph.
