Does anyone have a complete set of Yellow clocks in great working condition for a Chimaera that they would like to sell?

Have you looked into changing the dial faces?

Thought about it just didn't know how difficult it would be?

I assume from your statement above that you do not have the earlier ETB gauges, so you should the have the later gauges which were made by caerbont automotive in swansea, they are also known as speedy cables which is ironic as speedy they are often not, great work just not quick!

1999 Chimaera, I spoke with Speedy cables last year and costs were somewhat high so I figure that some time there may be a set of original yellow TVR clocks out there looking for a new home.

if you are prepared to take your gauges apart (its not too difficult) you can take your original dial faces to a print/sign shop who can replicate the face in any colour of your choosing, probably much cheaper than sending them back to CAI.

Not sure I have the confidence to dismantle what is a complete perfect working collection of clocks but I thank you for the suggestion
