It's just looks the tigra/sport clocks surround bluges out to make the clocks look sunk in

The rest of what he said is just to make them work

I tried that on the pink x5 to replace the ribbon as the pixel problem had occurred and I snapped them and all the innards came out. Maybe it's just me lol

Currently the van doesn't have a rev counter. I like the look of the tigra surround. These two are being combined to replace the one in the van. I kept the white needles. A) I like the look. B) it took that long to find a diesel rev counter I didn't want to break it. I'll update when fitted

Some came with a rev counter, most didn't it's the same with the diesel corsa, rev counter was only for high spec models and back in the 90s not many people bought high spec vans or diesels in general

I have of course adjusted the odometer to get the milage correct. I'll put up the steps I took apart from that as don't want to encourage clocking. If you need to know pm me.

All fitted and complete, I just needed to add an extra pin to get the front fog light telltail to work. Corsa b turbo diesel clocks with tiara a surround and correct milage all working. I'll upload some pics on how I did it.Image
