    Ok, not sure if this will get taken down by mods, but let me say from the outset I’m not selling anything, or looking to otherwise make a dollar from anyone. :)

    I have a 612 with the standard grey tacho, and have always fancied a yellow tacho. Lockwood international do a replacement, and whilst the quality of the product is good, the design they have isn’t quite perfect. I removed my cluster insert, scanned it, and sent them the scan. They have a lot of demand right now, and otherwise they wouldn’t have the time or resources to amend the design for a product they almost never sell. They’ve told me however that if I can get 5 orders, they’ll make the changes so that their yellow tacho insert is a perfect match to my scan.

    Cost, assuming we can get 5 customers, is £132+vat (vat is 20% in the uk, but not relevant outside the uk).

    I’m game; anyone else? Orders would be direct with Lockwood, as I’m not keen on getting involved in a group buy.

    Cheers,
    Robin.

    Robin- The guys who do instrument panel repairs, FAI in the States and I forget the name of the one in the UK, may have access to OEM yellow (or red) faces. Worth a check. On my 575M, I cheated and found a yellow Superamerica instrument panel.

    Hi Robin
    I'd be up for joining you on this. Are there any other takers as yet?

    Cheers

    Neil.

    Not sure if you're still looking for takers on this but there is a company in Poland which was making these. Check out Moman.

    Yeah, I saw them before, but the photo they had online wasn't great. Seems much better now. I've emailed them to confirm the construction is the correct 3-layer design for the backlit appearance to look right.
