Got a bit sick of looking for a google image :angry: I am having some bespoke indiglo dials made and I have everything as spares but the boost gauge face as that's in the car and I don't want the bother of taking this to bits just yet if I can help it.

 

So I am hoping someone as the dial faces on the bench or a picture on there pc, I need a pic of the shape of just the boost gauge, ideally the JDM minus and plus 7 as I am not sure if the UK plus and minus 14 is different, I expect it is the same ?

 

A photo of it with the speedo in front of it is of no help as google gives me lots like this :yes:.

 

Thank you.

Both JDM and UK are the same shape matey, ive been trying to see if i can find the boost face plate as i have one already off the car. give me a sec.

I'm sure I've still got a photo of mine when I took them apart... the problem is that I'm at work till 6:30 and they are on my PC at home.

If no one has been able to help you by the time I'm home I'll post it up for you.

Thank you Ian for that pic, it as been sent on to the supplier/maker.

 

Anyone else posting up their pics and for it to perhaps show or maybe not any differences in particular the shapes of the 6 will be great to see as I want to eliminate any errors in the manufacture :thumbup:.

 

EDIT : Coincidentally I have asked for a 200mph speedo face to be made !!

Thanks Mark, anyone else can post up if you have them off the car please ?

 

Could do with a JDM set.

 

How can the 12 o clock position on the 200mph clocks be 100mph and on Mark's UK ones it's 94mph ?

Just to update this thread for future reference these are my Jap series 4 faces and are completely different from the ones posted above. I butchered the speedo face a while ago as of course it shouldn't be like this. Pictured alongside my bespoke made glo dials which were based on the ones above, so no wonder I had issues fitting but I sorted it all :yes:.

Please note how the boost and oil gauge fit inside the blue 'trays', is it only S4 that as this then ? To fit my new faces I cut away the raised edges and made them flat.

Right a further update after further testing in the darkness, you will of noticed above the blue 'trays' as I call them with the edges, well I used a pair with chopped off edges, ie flat, as you'll notice the indiglos I wrongly got are too large and so needed a flat surface to overhang.

 

But there was a problem with this method, once fit these two small gauges were swamped with light from the stock T10 bulbs which you need to keep for the needle illumination, note glo dials do not need any illumination from these stock bulbs as of course they have their own built in EL display.

 

So, I chopped down the new white glo faces as you can trim them in the right places, so that they fit practically in these trays, I just had to cut off part of a tray edge where the two wires were, the blue trays were also brush painted in craft black paint to allow no light in whatsoever.

 

The result is much better as all you want to see is the glo dials lit with lovely red needles spinning :thumbup1:.
