I had a bugger of a job finding a supplier, and when I did they were only selling in the 000's

Luckily I spoke with a great chap who sent me out some "samples".

I will have a look tonight and if I still have some you're welcome to what you need.

Thanks. If I had known I would have been more careful removing the old ones!

They twist, buckle and will never go back on right.

Leave it with me.

It’s CNC’d from carbon fibre sheet. Supplied by a company called Juno Composites.

I’ve been trying to find my box of fixings, only to remember that someone who did some work on the car has yet to return them to me (not happy).

From memory the composite stud fixings I used were stainless M4 with plastic nuts as spacers to stand-off the circuit board and plastic flanged nuts to fix the circuit board. I try to use stainless fixings wherever I can and found them difficult to come by, I ended up sourcing them here https://www.veckfasteners.com/

I used VuduGlu VM100 to bond the fasteners to the carbon dash, once it’s set they won’t be coming off anytime soon!

Hope this helps.

Hi I have another question for you.
How did you remove the circuit board to release the fan switch’s?

From memory it was just a case of releasing the LEDs from the copious amounts of hot glue and removing the two dials via the recessed hex grub screws. The circuit board and components should then be released from the aluminium dial housings.
