Fit Alloy Instrument Dial Rings

You may have them fitted inside out, but at least you fitted them from the rear of the binnacle - not that anyone would be silly enough to have removed the clear plastic and fitted from the front of course... :whistle:

:dry: :lol:

It makes good reading... And so people DON'T fit them wrong like me But hey I'm not bothered it just makes the next time round a bit easier that's all

Aha! Found this:

I will investigate and take things steady. It appears if I dont fully push em on and use a bit of sealant they will probably be OK

Did I listen to the more experienced mg people NO so it serves me right I have two little issues but hey ho I can try again . Like others have said the temp + petrol needles stick a bit as they are tight so there's 2 options. 1 shorten the back of the needles 2 file a bit of metal off dunno which I'm going for yet

But at least if someone tries to nick it they won't get far and won't know about HGF lol :woohoo:

This is the problem in a bit.more detail see how the back of the needle sticks on the alloy ring

your not the only one to have fitted them the wrong way Ben

i think they look great though

Got mine in :broon:

And these

Mine caught for a while. But have found they started to move ok after a while, not sure why.... How would you shorten the needle? What best way to do this Ben?

Precise hands ans dremmel cutting wheel I'm going to file a bit off the metal to push the lot a bit righter and then it should clear the movement

May be worth leaving a while to see if yours move like mine? Save you filing?

Yeah the petrol one has cured itself but ill file them over the next few days
