Yesterday I took my speedo cluster apart to repaint my needles as the paint was cracking. It was a bit cold in the garage, so to speed the paint drying a bit I cracked out my heater gun. I realise that the heat these produce is a bit much, but I was only waving it a little.
However I let my mind wander a second, just long enough to heat the speedo needle enough to droop. So I now have a droopy needle on my speedo. Bugger! :rolleyes:
I guess I'll have to stick a request in the classifieds, as more people look here, does anyone have any spares so I could get a replacement needle? I've got a motometer (I think) cluster?
Cheers

Oh dear, I bet that looks abit funny.
I have a couple of sets of GTI 8v clocking including a anni set.

That would be brilliant. I take it the anni ones are silver and orange? How much posted?

Just the needle? I've got a load of spares somewhere which I have no use for, PM me your address and I'll have a look tomorrow. If I find one I'll stick it in the post to you :wink:

Well the envelope Dom sent arrived today.
Unfortuneately due to Royal Mail it is just an empty envelope :angry:
There's a small hole in the corner of the envelope and a bit of red paint left.
Handy!
