Ok, Next week I will be looking into getting a custom dial cover made for my Tamora, While I'm at it I can look into getting some generic ones done. These will be cheaper to do if I can get at least 15 interested. For now I haven't got a cost but here is the generic design (TVR logo will be in the center smile). If interested then put your name down. It's in it's infancey so no idea when I will have an accurate template made. Also looking into new needles.

Keep the suggestions coming and I will draft up what most people would like to see. Anything is possible graphics wise.

Update on this.
I got a crude dial made up but realised the needles don't come off!!!! they have been bonded in place and the only way they will come off is by breaking them. so I have come up with an alternative if you don't want to change the needles. Still waiting for needle samples to arrive. You can have any logo in the middle. costs for this will one be around £25, for the full type with the warning lights hidden until they light up will be about £80 with custom graphics. you can have MPH or KPH as the main graphic.

Material!, the full one that can only be put in place if the needles are taken off is made from a material (around the lights) that is invisible until the back light lights up and then you can see the warning lights. Reason for this is that to get an exact cut out like it is now would be far too difficult to line up. Unless you take away the existing aluminium face which I would suggest you dont.

"Getsis" won't be on the final print. It's there for now as it has some intelligence attached to it.

The company I was dealing with went bust! so I put it on hold, but the guy I was talking to is in talks to set up something on the same lines so just waiting for him to get back to me when he is up and running.

The simple cover (exposed warning lights was onto thin plastic, the over full face one with hidden lights is a bit more sophistcated. I can send you the arwork if you want to sort one out yourself. Just let me know what format you need it in.
