Warning Light Symbol Panel

Has anyone had any problems fitting the warning light symbol panel? I gave mine a to a garage who were organising a re-veneer of my dash, and my car ('97 Griff) came back with the original panel and the info that the panel was 2mm too small allowing light in around the edges. I found this surprising considering how many people here have bought the panels.

Do up your original panel with plumbers tape. Preparation 45 minutes, fixing 3 seconds. Cost a couple of quid. Will post the process shortly. Also easy on LH Drive cars.

Sorry PH not uploading image, again!

Thanks for the confirmation Pete. I had a full dash off restoration so I'm totally bemused by why the garage could not fit the new panel. Is there a way to remove the warning symbol panel without having to remove the dash (without scratching the nice new veneer I now have)?

Interested to hear tabout the process EGB. That might now be the only option for me.

Use a thin bladed surgical scalpel along middle of panel edge and lever it out gently. Should pop out. Mine pops out with finger nail.

Very surprised to hear the panel was too small to fit,asI made them larger so they had to be trimmed to fit.

What are the measurements of the one you have,may have an odd one knocking about somewhere.

Me too. The only difference I immediately note is the original has rounded corners. I will try and prise out the original and lay them side by side.

Plumbers white tape and sellotape.





Standard.




Tape on at night.


Tape off at night, slightly brighter.


Methinks Craig's panel is better. Mine is a diy cheapo jobbie. Suits me for now..

GM, you should have at least 10 require these as there are that many interested in my new dash! Come on guys, let GM know you want one of his great panels!

Hello GM,
I was looking for this post!
Please put me down on your list for one of the batch. Let me know where cash needs to be sent.
Thanks

Hi G.M,

yes yes yes, definately want one (RHD).
I tried a couple of times when you offered them in the past, but for whatever reasons it fell through.
Don't forget me.

Hey GM, I'm one of the lucky 10 getting a new dash from PeteGriff so I would like to be added to your list please, for a 95 Griff 500 with the later, silver dials (if it makes any difference). PM me with bank account details if you need some dosh. Cheers, Pete

[MPoxon]

Hi Craig, could I order one of your warning panels please? I too have one of Peter's new dashboards on order and a new warning panel will finish the job nicely. If you could PM me your bank details that would be great. Matthew.

Hi, are you going to get a new batch made?

[Moycie]

Hi Craig -
Just wondered if your supplier was still interested in making a batch of the panels?
Cheers
