Definately still interested here! (although my van is a long way off being back on the road )

Hi,
Still interested in a set of MPH ones, need to know some costs when you can please.

Dont mean to highjack this thread, but I have given up trying to find a sensibly priced T25 rev counter.
Last proper one i saw on ebay the seller wanted £220.
I'm looking at fitting a similar unit from an early Golf/Scirocco, just bought the whole dash unit for £20. That feels better to me!
Looking good so far, simple fixing issues to over come with the rev counter/temp and fuel gauge combo.
Wiring seems simple enough, just need to do some functional testing to see how well things work.
Should be a way of getting a trip speedo as well, need to borrow a sat nav to check indicated speed etc........
I'm taking pictures as I go, and if anyone is interested will start a thread on here.

Time to drag this thread up again!

I'd completely forgotton about it until I put the dash back in my van yesterday which reminded me....

So.... Any progress?

On a different note for those with no rev counter I fitted 2w dashbulbs instead of the standard 1.2w and they are far far better

I want a set for deffo but I want MPH with smaller KPH also

Hi, sorry....

Its all been on the back burner for a bit as i've had a whole host of other stuff to sort out.

Will get back on it soon....

Just found this old thread as im going through a few jobs that have been on my 'to do list'. Any more news?

Well as the first post was Oct 2010, the last in Nov 2011 and nothing has happened in all that time, I'd suggest its long dead now.

Think positive. Im sure V-lux hasn't just given up. He did say he's busy with other things.

Aye Dave. Give me a nudge when the main film comes on. I'm just nipping out for popcorn.

I still plan to sort these out, I've invested quite a chunk of money into UV LEDs and such like already.

I've been testing the product also, just to make sure they're actually reliable.

Hang in there, I know it's taking a long time, but I'll get there eventually.

Nice one, ill be another interested party

As a suggestion, for those of us that aren't too bothered by the UV lighting (could be added later) but just want the backlit MPH/KPH speedo, you could start re-cooping some of your costs by shifting the speedos as is. Are the clock faces ready to go from the supplier? if so it may be an idea to get them moving before they bypass you and start supplying direct, if not then does all the re-tooling needs to be done another wait? I appreciate you've got other more important things to sort rather than blinging vans but It would be handy to have some commitment to an ETA?

I don't mean to be aresy, but these have been on a backburner for some time, I would like to sort my unlit KPH cluster sooner rather than later.

Trouble with that is, it makes the needle very hard to see at night, trust me it's worth having the UV ones in there.

Commiting to an arrival time is difficult, however I do appreciate your comments. It has been getting pushed too far down the queue and it's encouraging that so many of you are still following this.

Placing order for the first run in the next few days.

Will update with more info as soon as i have some.
