Easy - the small ones just pull off (recomend getting strong twine underneath them and yanking on that).

The larger ones have small holes in the ends of the bits you grip on - push a small allen key up there and you'll feel they are spring loaded, push against the spring catch and pull them off.

sounds simple enough to me.

any ideas on the facia plate? suppose there may be a couple of screws behind the knobs or something like

Hehe you hit the nail on the head with the screws - one each under the bigger dials.

What are you upto behind there ?

Light bulbs ?

well ive just brought a blitz dual turbo timer dcII mainly because my boost gauge is slightly out. although its tiny id like to be able to encorporate it either into the dash or the heater control sectionand make it look as if it were there when it was built.

took the casing off the timer and the board inside is tinny so i may be able to modify the facia panel so the display sits nicely under the aircon and fan control switches.

i think it will look smart and neat but not over the top.

going to make a template first tho to see if it will fit.

if it all works out ill post a topic on it.
