Riley 0 Posted May 21, 2006 This has taken me feckin ages to do! :shock: and many times through doin it i wondered if it was worth it or not... anyway,ill let the pics/vids :D do the talking! My dials that have already been played with,complete with pointless blanked off led spaces. First two are plugged,blue circled are moulded shut... The led's were cast in a solid lump of plastic, took me over 24 hours! to cut them out with a craft knife! :shock: i nearly went mad! Adjustable :D and hidden under gear lever gaitor... Finished! And vids :D Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
