[Geddes]

[sharklover]

No I couldn't wait, it's true!

 

[sharklover]

Because of several question to changes the dial colour, this is a translation of a french thread, this is the link, thanks to dough29:

This is a dial:

You need unmount it, behind we find 8 screw "torx" (like a "star"):

Remove the black panel:

Turn it over and remove transparent frontage:

Now you need to remove needles. Before you need locate needles with a piece scotch tape. To remove needles, use a fork and make lever but take care not to stripe the dial with the fork! the needles are strongly attached so take care of your eyes, it can jump high sometimes:

Needles are out:

Now you can remove the white panel:

Now you must unweld the first led (orange). Take care of Polarity Almost DEL are in the same direction, Mark it on paper before remove. You need a (soldering iron ?) and tweezers

you must liquify tin and remove DEL with tweezers

All the the DEL to change are in pink on picture:

DEL you need are CMS (or SMD) 1206.

Pour ce qui est du sens, sur le circuit sont présents des "K" ou des doubles traits selon les versions aux emplacement des LEDs et indiquent la cathode. Sur la LED la cathode est généralement indiquée par un trait vert.

Now you have your new dial:

Hope you understand!

 

[sharklover]

This a link for the DEL, so you can see exactly!

[Geddes]

I think that abit to complicated for me to do

 

[sharklover]

It's not to hard if you are manual! The only big difficulty is the needles. you must be patient if you don't want to break it!

 

[Leeshez]

Bonjour and nice car .

 

[Baz 172]

Man, thats a hell of a job, I wouldn't know where to start!

 

[sharklover]

[sharklover]

A few fresh pics of my ride:

 

[sharklover]

There are some news from my ride!

I began to change the cover on all my seats!

So, first, I remove ancients covers and seaprate all pieces!
Now I can't go back! :S

This is my best friend for next month! :clown:

Here is original seat on the front:

...and on the back! First you must cut the cord un der the seat.

the second without seams:

There are the new two colors:

The cotton:

Reinforced wire:

The cover is not finished, needles are joining two pieces before sewing:

My assistant:

It's just fitted but not attached

The cover is fitted and attached by the center but not under the seat:

Before:

After:

The first is done!

This is the top of the second cover just sewed:

My wife cut the pieces to make me free for sewing:

The second:

and under the seat:

Both

It's not very impressive for the moment but when all will be done, it will be nicer!

More pics to come!

On the first, yellow, the second is red and the last is green! It was just an exemple of DEL, you can find any colour you want!

Good work Sharky!

Thank you! :clown:

 

[Christophe]

wouldnt yellow just look the same as standard? Or do i need to look around for white?

 

[sharklover]

wouldnt yellow just look the same as standard? Or do i need to look around for white?

Yes, the ones on this link just look the same as standard! You should find an electronic store to find the DEL's you want!

 

[Christophe]

Is DEL an abbreviation or is that the full word?

 

[sharklover]

Is DEL an abbreviation or is that the full word?

Yes, for us "Diodes Electro-Luminescentes = DEL"

For you it's "LED"! But I don't know the meaning in english!

 

[182joe]

Light Emmiting Diode (sp?)

 

[sharklover]

Yes, I think, it's the meaning!

 

[fizzy_drink]

Fantastic effort.

Where do you get the time? :S

He's French he's probably on strike half the year :rasp:

Cheeky... but... Bhahahaaa!

 

[Mikey]

[Christophe]

wouldnt yellow just look the same as standard? Or do i need to look around for white?

Yes, the ones on this link just look the same as standard! You should find an electronic store to find the DEL's you want!

where did you buy them? Did you get them off the interent?

 

[Christophe]

just like this red one which was posted on here a while back. Think this is lowered though

 

[sharklover]

Thank you for the picture Christophe!

There are more pics from my clio!

Seat without his cover:

I used some cotton foam to make volume:

Then I created the cover:

And when the cover was finished:

The first half back of the seat is ready:

And the second:

Then I ran to give the seat in the car

The interior of the door will be red like the seat.

Next week, I'll continue with my front seat!
