Here is my v1 for my new dial design. Some tweeks to be done before getting it made.
I found the original a bit boring and now I have the dash pod out of the car it has prompted me to do something about it. This will fit over the existing so can easily be reverted back.

Any suggestions for v2 ?

Interesting!

Not sure about white as the background colour though.

Black would look better to me.

It wont be white on final draft. Going to produce a variey of colours schemes before final decision is made.

Might be interested in a 4.5 Sagaris set for myself when you get a template done...

I think this is the design finished, just need to check all spacings and that the cowel doesn't hide any text. will play with the colours and see if I can get new red needles, I can get black/white but if I can't get red it may have to be white if I go for black background. will start to look at costs next week.

V3

Looks very nice. I always thought the binnacle on my T350 was a real let down on the rest of the interior. It needed to have a different texture.

The dials also were a little Fischer Price.

Black might be a little extreme? Maybe a charcoal or more grey colour?

Also, why not place the rev warning lights in a climbing diagonal? I think that having the in a triangle while looks good would seem odd when in use?

Can't do anything about the rev lights location as these cant be moved from standard position.

Ah. I don't think I ever noticed mine if it had them. I thought you'd added them.
