Dash Clocks - Options...

[SRimon]

Well ive had a few sets in the nova now, and im always out to try and do something different...so

First Set: Mk2 SR Dials - not bright enough at night
Second Set: Digi Dash - bit dated and too common
Third Set: Cavalier GSi Dials - Nice and curvy, an arse to fit..

Quite awful pics, but you get the idea

Quite like the look of that... any chance of a guide?

How does the brightness compare to std dials? I'm guessing they're still using the standard cav dash bulbs, so you could change them to coloured LED ones...?

[SRimon]

Sooooo much brighter, every lights up perfectly...

YEa using the standard bulbs...

Haven't finished it yet, needs more work on the shroud (bit of fibreglass and filler)

They look very nice mate.
How difficult was it to fit them.

I have a prob with how dull nova ones are at night as well.

link dont work.

I plan to use digi dash but change the colours...

Your clocks are only limited by the amount of work you wanna do rearranging your dash. If youre prepared to go the whole hog and knew a bit about car electrics, you could pretty much fit any style of clock.

I always thought a cntre console mounted speeds/rev would be good (like on the new primera) - hell of a lot or work though and you;d need to make a custom dash.

Got some Cally T clocks to go in mine, to get them to fit = Big grinder then, Chop Chop Chop !!! :lol:
Its an absolute ball ache to get them to fit, you've gotta chop loads away from the back of the dashboard so theres plenty of room ......

Needs tidying up & the rest of the facia's modded to fit, but should look sweet, also done a bit more chopping to get these to fit ....
