Looks good, fancy a set myself as I have a spare set from my Astra.
I take it the clocks plug straight into the nova plugs? Was jus curious about your droopy speedo needle, lost the resting pin?

Why is the speedo needle off the clock, are you missing the needle stop??

it broke off leave me alone lol,

no the plugs dont fit in, you need the loom from a cavalier, as theres 2 plugs on the clocks, then its just colour to colour like fitting a digi dash but it a hammer, and small grinder

I have done the same to my Nova clocks but I think the Astra/Cav clocks look better.

Yeah thats the badger, I made the leds for my cars, well the conections and soldered the resistors to look identical to the ones you get in the shops then, used the plastic green or black bulb cradles the OE bulbs use. The Leds dont come up too well on the Nova for some reason, but look smart in the Astra dials as you can see.

I couldnt be a*sed to pay a rediculous price for a handful of leds so made them myself, costs a fraction of the price for the same result. Got any night time pics of your dials?
