Does anyone have a list of decent subaru breakers in the nothwest (chesire/Gr. Manchester)

I need a full set of white dial clocks, with the rev counter in the middle,(JDM 98MY type R non sti) the type where the speedo head and rev counter head is not part of the whole assembly, i have a set off an STI but they are completly different - the plugs are wrong and the rev counter red is higher

To set the story!

My speedo is about as accurate as weeing into a head wind and doesn't always work, i have chnaged the KM to MPH convertor but wiht no luck, anyway i took the 2nd hand set of clocks apart and then went to take my set apart, after gently getting msot of the bits of with a degree of success(i have already removed the speedo and Rev counter needles) i found the difference so embarked on plan B

Resoldering what appeared to be 3 loose pins, with my hot stick prowess i put the whole lot back together without any drama

i now decide to put the clocks back into the car, in my wisdom i think that i should reset the revs and speed to zero before putting the needles back on - so ignition on then off - all ok

I then put the rev counter needle on, start the car, the rev counter is idling and 3000 rpm! the "Oh No second" when your unconsious brain knows you have done something bad/very stupid and may not be able to fix it, just before your concious brain works out how bad it really is!

Anyway with much swearing, nearly tears and about 30 atempts i finally get the needle in the right place, the idle looks about right and its in the red when the limiter cuts then engine

BUT the stupid speedo still doesn't work properly!

On the plus side anyone who wants some spare bits, like needles or STI white dials i will post them - dont be greedy, just if you really need them.
