I'm just calling you an idiot because I already put a deposit on the engine in Te Awa-bloody-Mutu that doesn't come with all the bolts ons that your one did. And for the same price! I could have just bought your one (so the guy you're buying it from doesn't loose his rag at you for f**k him about) and saved myself $100 of petrol and tyre wear.

Never mind me.

Ben, to get the needles off, use a dinner fork and slip the prongs either side of the shaft end, and off it comes.

Hey while I've got your attention, where does the tacho needle sit when the keys off?? Can't find a pic of an EA sports cluster any where!

Yes, I think I have all the templates still, however they are quite large files.

PM me your email address, and I will be able to send them to you.

Most email transfers have a limit of 10MB. Some places, such as my TelstraClear account will not even allow you to send 10MB in a single message, so I used http://www.sendthisfile.com/ to get files to Galopalotugus....

Ok, trivia time, who can tell me what the increments below 1000 on the EA tacho represent?

As in:

Does it start at 500 and go in increments of 100 like the rest of the tacho?

Or does it start at 0 and go in increments of 200 up to 1000?

:?

I think the first major line above 0 is 500rpm.

Thank you, thank you all :D

Bugger though, means my idle not as perfect as I'd like it at 800rpm

Was hoping the line just under 1000 would magicaly become 800...it just might...
