Its a ballache to do, requires loads of cutting and trimming. Peesters is probably one of the better ones.

if your doing it I'd get yourself another dash to work on in case you mess up ;)

What a pain lol mite have to borrow Liam's clocks and see how far they are 1st before I by some

I was going to do it on my old one, I even had the inner cowling from a GTE to try and make it fit but had a look into it and thought standard SR 6 dials looked more in keeping... Your should stay as traditional as possible or you'll regret doing it ;)

^ as said most regret it it's more for the bigger motors newer ones that cAnnot run cable IMO and unless your handy with the tools it can end in tears mk2 far easyer to do plus if you f up it's only a throw away bit to replace to far on a mk1 dash and it's I'm the bin

you need to remove and fit trimit, re fit trim again on and on till it's right then when you re fit it properly prob needs doing more lol looks trick if u got the time and motivation

Just I prefer digital dash but I prefer mk1 dash lol, and this is on my new project not the sr ;)

Then how I'd do it make a card template of your mk1 dash use the sr make it a nice fit either the clocks removed if poss on ether car then transfer they to the digi clock removed and set it so it's as close as possable scribe the clock face onto the mk1 template, cut it with scissors till it fits the clocks nice then return it to the dash and mark the dash to trim off I would mask the whole dash opening area just don't file the edge at the front that's when you see it's been cut just take your time

[brainsnova]

I done a bit like dgb said, I used the the Astra surround as I quick template and once the digi dash could be offered up close I scribed round it for a perfect fit and the heater ducting moulded on the dash needs modified

Just download the app, once installed upload your photos from your account and use the [IMG] option.
Youll need to upload the photos from your computer if you've not take the pictures on your iPad to the account ;)

Time for a thread revival!

How did you get on fitted the clocks? This is something I'm looking at for the Sting, however, last time in the GSi with its mk2 dash that was simple!
I have 2 Digi clocks to play with, but everything seems to point to cutting the dash rather than trimming down the Digi clocks. they do not look that much larger so might have a go at reducing down the set that are at 190k rather than butcher the 69k set to start with. If it doesn't work then I might go hunting for a set of 6 dial clocks as I'd rather not cut the dash.
