I have just purchase and installed some white dial vinyl stickers.
They were only £5.00 and £1.50 p&p
I found them very easy to fit and complete with good instructions.

Hi mate
They look the dogs bringing the dash a bit closer to modem
Iv emailed the company asking that I won't a set but with a clock face
And pointed out that there are a few that would like the same
I expect
Iv also ordered some super brite led dash bulbs

Nice one. For the price they're amazing.

And with needles painted and back together.

Hi mate they look great
Iv emailed said company again and have agreed to send them my clock
Face so they can copy it and add to there collection
How did you get the speedo nedel off
Asking as mine are in bits in the kitchen
And I don't won't to break it
I have noticed that the plastic that the clocks screw in
To is amazingly brittal

The company recommended two tea spoons opposite each other and prise them off. This seemed to work well without damaging anything but don't force them just take it easy. Mine seemed to pop off pretty quickly.
Replacement is just pushing it back on with the needle just resting on the stop.

Looks great

Have you tried it yet? when I did mine the needle went back on the other (wrong) side of the stop, lining up with a mark on the side of the original dial (you can see the mark on the bottom edge of the dial on your first photo)
I rested it against the stop on my first attempt resulting in a reading of 20mph at walking speed

Ahhh. No haven't fitted them back to the van yet. Thanks for your input I'll watch out for the calibration,

Have a look at page 10 of this

How strong is the adhesive on these - does it look like the stickers will peel after a while, or, at the other extreme, is it so strong that it's likely to damage the existing markings if you peel them off? And what about the thickness of the vinyl - are the existing markings raised at all, and can you still see them through the vinyl surface?

Great link there Jonathan - explains why mine is 10mph out after putting it back together! Cheers for posting!

I've got mine, waiting til I get a minute!

Are u sticking with the white dash bulbs or going blue?

The vinyl is pretty good. You cannot see the existing marks once fitted. The sticky on them is good too, it wouldn't damage the original instruments if you need to remove but not sure how long they will stay stuck being inside a van with temperatures raising and falling. Only time will tell but for £6.50 I think it's worth the chance.

I have hot some blue LEDs from a German co on eBay.
I would recommend camper van culture ones as they are recommended on other forums. I don't know if the have any UV tho but the ones I have make the needle glow in the dark.

just fitted mine and used blue led dash bulbs , easy to do and looks good
