Does anyone know if the needles can be changes on Sierra and cossie speedo,rev counter,fuel level and coolant level?

The reason im asking is cause ive noticed the orange paint(or what ever it is) has come off my needles.

I was thinking about getting a set of clocks and swapping them over.

Ive had a look today,the speedo needle looks to be tight. The black part of the needle comes off but i couldnt get the rest of it to come off.

Any help would be grateful.... thanks.

 

Yes the needles can come off. You need to pull them gently, but they can be quite tight. When putting them back on you need to check how they should be exactly because there is nothing to align the pins and needles.

 

I've got a set of clocks in my garage if you want them Glenn? Don't want anything for them

 

So nice to see someone else willing to help out a fellow Ford enthusiast and not wanting a stupid inflated price for the parts.

 

Wow are you sure matey. I dont mind giving you something for them??

 

Yeh i didnt wanna damage them whilst taking them off matey. Why is nothing simple.

 

Can't you paint them in position Glenn if you got a small artist brush or even orange nail varnish?

 

i used a red sharpy pen to colour the needles on my bmw, lasted about 4 years before needing doing again.them clocks a very easy to remove so wasnt a big deal.

 

I could paint them on the car which is what i might do. Looking at the needles they look like they are painted at the bottom of the needle,the closest to the dails. I might just paint the top of the needles cause they will still light up.

I will have a look through the wifes finger nail paints lol.

 

No it's ok mate, they're just sitting in the garage doing nothing so I'd rather see them get used

PM me your address and I'll get them up to you

How you doing anyway mate?

 

It's just a waste them laying about, I doubt I'll ever use them

 

Gaz you need to empty your messages. It wont let me send you one.

 

Like yourself matey. Thanks for giving me them ford parts at the beginning of the year.

 

Ah bugger! I'll clear them now mate

 

All cleared
