(I think I have sent a PM to all those who originally said they wanted a set, let me know if I have missed anybody)
The dial faces suit both 90mph and 110mph Nippon (later) style dials, they attach to the existing faces and glow blue when the lights are switched on. During the day they look like regular white dials.
The following pic will give you an idea of what they look like when lit up:
The price for these is £65 delivered
If you are interested then you can reply here or send me a PM
Thanks

(if this should be in the for sale section then please move it, I wasn't sure where it would be best to put it)

When we made ours, i had to make a small control circuit to make the brightness adjustable, as at night those electroluminescent sheets are unbelievably bright...!!
When we drive the car at night, we turn the brightness right down, as shown below, otherwise they make driving a nightmare...

I have not wired up one of these sets yet but a previous set I had from the same supplier the dials dimmed by about half if you wanted them to.

Fitting is simple, you take the fronts off your existing dials and these fascias stick to the existing dial faces, double sided tape is easiest for this.
The 4 sections of the facias are then connected to the inverter (all the wiring for this just pluds together)
The inverter is wired up to +ve and -ve, (the positive would normally be the positive feed that the gauge lights would work on) -ve should be any good earthing point.
2 things to not when fitting - do not use solvent based glues (it melts the electroluminescent sheet) and make sure all the dial faces are connected before putting any power through the inverter.
