hey i've been on there and had a look all over. it might just be right under my nose but it tells me all about installation etc but not if it is compatible with the my car.

 

Sorry, i have a 1990 version as well. i believe the clocks are different to the newer versions

I dont think they are as the majority of cars in the states wre vr's or g's. Could be wrong though. Wouldnt be the first time :lol:

 

Someone will clear it up over the next couple of days I am sure.....

i've been in contact with ddi to get some for my 16v and they don't do them for this clock set .. as it would cost to much to tool up for them . unless you could find lots of friends that want it done . . the asn is no . .

Hadn't noticed this thread till this morning. I emailed DDI over the weekend inquiring about a set for my 16v as well. If nothing else from my email they'll know that there is an interest for 16v kits. Please excuse my limited knowledge but could the G60 ones not work from a quick glance they seem the same?

 

If there's a list being put together count me in!

 

Toph :D

Ahn used to sell the G60/Early Style gauges but stopped because there wasn't a demand for it. On the other hand I do have a link on how to make them yourself. You would just need someone that has the correct printer. Lemme dig through my bookmarks and find it. 8)

Sorry been a bit lazy on looking through my computer at home.

 

It was done using EL paper and then printed over. It is the same way that the DDI gauges are made.

just try finding el sheets in this country??

 

You can get the EL sheets from Farnell, bout half way down the page. I was looking for the stuff a while ago, was going to attempt to do my own gauges....

That's the stage I got to, as you'd need a bloody good printer and I'd imagine very opaque ink to do it. I'd imagine it would be better to go to a printing firm and ask them what they could do.

If you want a proper black and have a graphics package that can mix CYMK colours, use black and then add 20% or so cyan to it.
