Thanks for the comments guys! I'm not gnna piss about... it was a lot of hard work, but maybe thats because I have no electrical knowledge (well, little bits and bobs) and a lot of it was trial and error, with the odd breakage.
Oh yeaaaah :cool:

After much hard work and help from some ppl on the forum (you know who you are guys... thanks!) ... still not completely finished. If you notice the light goes dim again at circa 6000 rpm (which is when i should have shifted by anyway as the power drops around...
;)
See what i mean! Did mine up, not too tight... but then again i am a strong lad and did mess one of the heads up on the screws lol. Also had to fit the retainer ring for the horn as it kept popping out, so it doesnt look at good :(
Oh well, least no more loose horn!
Just 6 little screws holding on your steering wheel? I've had mine fitted for 6months+ with no problems but now that I went to change the horn button (and needed to fit a ring with new screws) it got me thinking... how much should I tighten these up? I did them up as tight as I could by hand but...
5/6 solder points shouldnt be a problem. I dont suppose you have any spares (ie the speedo motor from the ph1) your willing to post me for some beer tokens?
Tried everything to do with the needle, pushing it harder, pushing it less. Im now confident I somehow broke the motor (possibly pushed the needle round by accident - I remember hearing a click lol)
I'm hoping they wont be too hard to swap over? Soldered in a few places?
There are 4 white round blocks with motors in them. I havent tampered with them.
Do you know if dials from a ph2 are the same? (ie can i rob the motors from them?) Reason I ask is ive just won this... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380221585633&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT...
No idea, has nothing to do with that though i would have thought? Its literally just the needle sitting on whatever motor etc moves it. Use to work before I took the needle off!
After ripping my dials apart to do a led bulb conversion my speedo needle is no longer moving. It moves slightly about 5mm then stops no matter what speed your doing. I have tried reseating the needle.
Also another thing to notice - when you move the other needles they move up and 'feel'...
Does anyone know which of the wires on the back of the dials is the one for the dash leds? (ie turns the dash lights on when you turn on sidelights/dipped/main beam)
Tbh i've only given it the one coat of primer. Since my post it has dried and gone away slightly, but i'll let it dry and give it another coat tomorrow.
