Just get some Lockwood dials, you can slide them on without removing the needles :thumb:

the needles do come off. get a fork and wedge it under the circle in the middle, give it a bit of a wiggle and it'll pop off. thats how they did it 'old school' before they made the new kits.

massive word of warning though..........99.99% chance when you put the needles back on the dials will read wrong lol

i used to have an sr where i had shiny new white dials but only one dial worked properly out of 6!

the reason i want them changing over is this speedo face will not fit in my 6 dial items i will give the fork thing ago and see what happens lol nova dials dont ever read right anywayz
