as title reply I want to take the clocks out and change the sold from the white Lockwood ones to some black ones. problem is I haven't got a clue where to start, any advice on how to remove the clocks and then change the dials would be great

 

Top of my head
- Remove the upper steering cowl (2 screws).
- Remove the clocks fascia (plastic cover that surrounds the read heated screen switch etc) (2 screws at top + disconnect wiring from the back of the switches etc)
- 4 screws then hold on the actual clocks unit, remove these and slide the unit forward
-Disconnect 2x wiring connectors + speedo cable allowing you to remove the unit in full

Then to open up the clock unit:
-About 6/8 screws in the back of the unit round the edge, undo these, that'll seperate the unit in 2
-Carefully prise off the needles making a note of exactly where they are sitting
-You can then get at the dials themselves


Thats all off memory but dont think i've missed anything major

 

That covers pretty much whats involved...be prepared to swear some while trying to disconnect the speedo cable!

 

speedo cable is easy ,feel for the ribbed section of the white connector on the end of the cable at the back of the clocks, then push this across and pull it off (the connector is round and you want to push it across the hole if this makes sense

 

all sorted now guys thanks

 

Do you have a link to buy them mate

 

How good do they light up?

 

If that’s the Lockwood black dials, they look good

 

That right-hand indicator symbol lines up really badly, no?

 

Only on the white set ..my white set was miss printed there as well ..white shite glad I removed .

 

Should the temp. gauge needle be like that at rest, would've thought it should be closer to the gauge?

 

Guage as either shook a 7 or the sender has ..or either connection / bad earth mate.
