Bought a dash of Flea bay recently, stripped cleaned and lacquered over the past couple of days, Fitted today...








Guess what....





















The dials on my Chim 500 are Tooooooo fucking SMALL !!!!!



















Anyone want an Ally dash that needs bigger dials than a 500 ??


The car it was bought from was a 94 Chim, nicely polished by my fair hands...







Bloody bloody TVRS, Why cant anything interchange between a 400 and a 500 !!


Off to pop the old dash in again, after i've bloody well stripped that down now as well

Bet theirs will fit perfectly...

There are a huge number of variations in dials over the Griffs and Chims...

I bought a carbon dash for my Griff recently and guess what.. the holes are too small for my dials. Apparently there are three or four different sizes, even the early dials like mine, fitteed to the first Griffs and Chims with the black rims, have two different sizes. I suppose at least I can make the holes that tiny bit bigger so the dials sit flush. Coincidentally I'm after a set of yellow dials to go in mine, but the early style not the ali-rimmed ones like yours.

Cheers, Al.
