Default Quick Questions

1st, When changing to mechanical tappets rather then hydraulic, do you have to change anything else apart from the cams?? ie guides, stem seal etc

and 2nd, if im fitting a set of gauges and i want to be able to dim them on the same circuit as the rest of the dash,(hope this makes sense) does anyone know what wires i need need to connect to off the back of the dimmer switch?? (its a three door cossie if its any help)

many thanks for any info

You DON'T need to change the cams at all when going from hydraulic to mechanical profile.
If as I assume a yb just need 1.8D buckets and shims, direct fit.
To dim the clocks with the others, you can simply hook into the illumination wire, which I think is grey/yellow, but prod with multimetre to determine.
