If you could do a set that looks like those VW dials when lit up id buy them instantly. I'm guessing they would have to be el-sheet instead though due to the mini clocks being sidelit rather than backlit.

I would be very interested in a set if you could get them to illuminate blue

Only prob is i have two piece mayfair dials, where the mph figure is ona seperate ring to the lines - anyone have a suggestion on how to get round this??

Would definatly buy the first design when i get the money and like others have said, making them light up like vw's will be amazing and everyone will buy then!
also i have 2 clock set up does this effect anything#?

thanks

how close to production are you mate?

im keen to have a set like the black ones but in grey - 3 clock style and 90mph. maybe if you could sell me the design on email i can print them myself?

[MiniMonty]

I think selling via email may be the future - very difficult to get a small print run done
ad I can't invest in a huge amount of stock that might not sell.

I'm looking into an online shop where you can pick and choose then pay over the net.

Can these be done to convert KPH ( european) to MPH ( as in USA)?

[MiniMonty]

Yep

[WiredbyWilson]

well basically im waiting to buy some of these dials at the right price - oh and are the designs on the website the only ones available. just that im not too keen on the font on the smiths ivory ones

also how are these dials lit up as the standard ones are backlit - i assume the light shines through??

The designs are not totally finalised yet (but will be this week...) - what changes would you like ?
Be as specific as possible (we aim to please) and I'll accommodate if I can.

And don't forget that for fifty quid you can have a completely custom set done just for
you with ANYTHING you like !

(standard sets are £15:99 inc VAT and delivery)

Just looked at site, its very good, maybe a bit plain but the layout is spot on i think.
will be looking to get some Smithy Ivory set but i've just installed some green led bulbs which lightup standard ones really well,but unsure what these will look like but might buy some anyway.

good luck and keep good work up

Well I would prefer just a standard font, like Tahoma or silimar.

Also how well would these be backlit by standard bulbs? I will be trying to fit blue backlighting so am interested in what the dials are printed on.

Are you going to be doing ones for 110 gauges? Really like the Smithy Ivory ones but in 110 maybe?
