im after some white dials for a 4cyl auto, anyone got some or know where i can get them.

Member [TUFFTR] used to make them, don't think he does anymore.

ive got the template on a psd file, if u have access to a printer all you need to do is edit them to make em look like what u want and print them out

i made a set for my old tr with some watermarked background images:

the psd files are over 100mb

damn, are they easy to make yourself? or will tufftr be extra friendly and come out of retirement and make me a set?

haha a fellow liam on the forums!
They're not too hard to do yourself, there's a few threads detailling the DIY procedure to install them. Use the search function, you'll be able to find a multitude of threads on the topic. As for making them, if you ask paul nicely he might consider it! PM him.

he hasnt made me set, so I doubt he'll make you a set. i've heard they're easy to do man. basically, take the orig dials out, san them into a computer, colour them and print them on high-gloss photo paper and cut them out with something sharp and easy to use.

Hahahah giggity
nah mate i don;t do them anymore. i just have no time anymore.
You take the dials out of your car (or buy a cluster from the wreckers to rip apart) scan in the dials in high res, and use photoshop to alter em, pretty easy

thanks tuff. i'll give it a shot, im not the artistic type so hopefully they'll turn out ok.

a little off the topic but i dont wanna start another thread, i saw in the for sale/wanted section you had a pair of para's for sale? you still got them man?

Nope, sold them a while ago mate. Sorry

I got some laying about somewhere that I got of TUFFTR that was for my son's TR but he killed it before I had time to put them on.You can have than if I can find them.:)

There are a few sites out there that will do the custom backround for the instrument cluster but most of which are INSANE prices, if you can put in the patience and time it will work out cheap as chips to do and you can customise it to how you like! Just remember if you pull out the whole instrument panel not to tilt or rotate it at all as the liquid behind the tacho gauge will leak out then you wont have a RPM guage :( If you really dont want to do it I can try and hunt down the company that used to do them, but its darn expensive!

My cluster has been up, down, left, and purple, and still works fine:P
i just dont recommend it for long periods of time on angles

Theres a how-to at www.fastmagna.com (Go to the tech tips section, then go white dials for a 2nd gen)
basically you just take note of all your settings on the cluster so when you put everything back on you know where it goes

ill create a new thread later with a poll to see how munch intrest i get

EDIT: refer to this thread http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?p=792928#post792928
