No I never did the sport chrono, to be perfectly honest I totally forgot about that, as the company who made them have the colours I may just order some.
Good spot.

Had my first customer in today for a supply and fit job, he obviously went for the full set in yellow.
Car as it turned up-
Clocks out and stripped, standard codes in black do look pap.
Not too long after all the faces replaced and the unit rebuilt-
Back into the car, looks great straight away-
With the lights on-
Customer loved them and that's all that matters. I took the steering wheel off for a little bit more room and also because I bought an rs wheel for my car and he wanted one too.
They do look good.

Dial Colours
Hi, I'm new to Rennlist and am interested in changing the dials of my 991.2 to yellow. I note that the posts I've been reading were left in 2015 and wondered if I can still obtain info on how to obtain them?

Mechanicalrepair, you're a brave soul & thank you for documenting the process with good pictures. My wife would be after me if I'd pulled the instrument cluster out of a new car!
I'll be undertaking the same process on my GT4, actually going to kph from US version MPH. I'm keeping the tach the same too & just doing the speedo dial. I'll send you a pm on that.
FVD Brombacher Germany makes the gauge dial covers in the custom colours, & that's where Suncoast gets them. FVD will do any of the customs sets, you can look at them on their website.
As you're now very aware, changing these gauge covers is a tricky finicky process. Another member did a DIY post a while ago. I talked with Rhonda from FVD USA who said that FVD will switch the dial covers for customers who send the gauges in.
These are the gt4 instructions:

Superb - when I've done this on other cars there are two interior screws attached upwards on the inside of the binnacle to shroud, a bit tricky to find if never done prior.
Can you sell only the Tach dial in Red? for USA cars?
Ala Ferrari Scuderia! I too would like white dials with a red center Tach, great spec Sir

Now in the car and working perfectly

To be honest if you have a little bit about you and are careful it really isn't a hard job to do, there is a lot of plastic that has to be removed etc so just got to take your time so not to break clips etc
