Fitted electro luminesent (spelling?) dials from Nomad racing, they are excellent, look so much better than standard dials but didn't have to remove needles although a tad fiddily. It did take a while to fit them but when your car self immobilizes it makes it hard to find voltage that's not there...DOLT. Service from Nomad was great, delivered next day as promised. No piccies I'm afraid as no camera but anyone in the north yorkshire is welcome to come and have a look. Can advise on fitting although a friend did most of it but spectating still helps learn. White unlit dials look good but with the built in dimmer I have a choice of about 8 colours, blues and greens. Does look like indiglo on one of the settings. Bloody brilliant. Get some.

Edited cos can't spell

Getting in a shipment of these, in a blank format, onto which I can add bespoke dial faces. Should be up and running in a months time. The benefit of EL plus your own spec face design

Also creating heater surround graphics to match

Ray if you look at dial kits further down the page it shows pic's from Nomad racing and although Nomad Racing has a website the dials are not pictured on it. They really look excellent, definitely worth the money ( I am not associated in any way with Nomad racing by the way). The pics don't do the kits justice either. If you look at Nomads profile his email address is there, He replied very quickly when I mailed him.

Cheers

Not yet, I'm just waiting for MJDesigns to get the EL blanks in. Then they'll be doing a blue light, silver face speedo, rev fuel & temp. Should look spanking. Have a look at MJ's website - www.mjdesignsuk.com They can pretty much do anything you want. Any colour, graphics, logos, pictures. I know it sounds like I'm on commission but I'm not. They're stuff is good quality and fair priced.

Kev :-)

Hos > have emailed you off the BBS

Marc R > Not done any Scooby ELs yet, but have made some dials to match Autometer Phantom gauges -

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...threadid=90847

The ELs will look similar as we place the white face, or other light colour including silver, over the EL base.

If you've got any questions feel free to email me off list

Marc,

The heater surrounds where £25. They're not EL but use the standard bulbs + blue filtering.
