New custom dials I now offer
 

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share some pics of some new custom dials I can do. So far, I've been doing dials which are completely custom such as the mustang dials and inverse dials. However, recently I was contacted by a 75 owner in Austria who was interested in customizing the standard 75 dials with some subtle changes and asked if I'd be able to do them.

As he owns a european model, his speedometer is in Km/h and does not display MPH, so he asked if I could add the MPH speedo to the standard Km/h dials, and also asked if I could change the Rover logo on the rev counter and add an extra bit of text.

Well as I didn't have a template of the standard 75 dials, I had to start these from scratch and after about 4 hours work this is what I was able to achieve.

Really pleased with how these came out and how close they are to original OEM dials. Hardest part was trying to get the perfect colour match for the dials. Hours of work but well worth it :)

So I can now make OEM dials with subtle changes if you'd like to go for something more original :) I can also do MKII 75 dials as well :)

Good job Rick, I like the addition of the Rover 75 lettering on the rev counter.

Thanks Andrew :) Quite like that small change, it was the owner's idea :)

Could you do a custom backing for the temperature gauge that reads something like "Cold - A bit warmer - normal-ish - Probably OK - Time to worry" ?

ofcourse I can :D

Lovely. Soon as I've sorted my low hanging exhaust I'll arrange to nip over and bring my misbehaving indicator tell tale with me too.

no worries :)

That's a very nice setup, and imo the euro should have been that way.

that's what the owner of this set said :)

Hi Rick, can you drop me a PM I would love a quote for a set for my mk1 Connie Diesel auto would prefer speedo in mph but to be honest I think it looks fab in KPH. Do you know where I can get he top info screen replaced mine has just started the dreaded vertical line fade out soon it will be less than useful. Also text is currently in German for the passed six months. Must plug the PC in and change to English. Please give me a quote for replacement dials.
Kind regards
Alan
