    Hey guys,

    Was wondering if someone could help me out here with this.

    I intend to customise the speedclocks in my van as thier are no replacement faceplates for them....god knows i searched :(.

    Then a friend of mine gave me a site name meditronics over a year ago. They use to have a website before and i think their based in westmeath not 100% on that.

    I cant find the website anymore, does anyone know if their still around doing business or heard of them.

    If not is there anyone else in ireland that does custom made speed clocks..

    Any help on this will be gratly apretiated.

    DP ~

    Lockwood dial kit if ones available.


    Or else i can recommend a vinal printer to make you custom vinal overlays.

    I think you could do it by youreself, it's realy easy too do, You have to check sizes of speedclocks, prepare your own in some graphic progam like Photoshop or GIMP and print it on some plexiglass, you can print it in some printing house, they do things like this : )

    Sounds good, have you seen this done before, have you any links to anyone that does it...?

    best bet is to get an EL sheet, scan your existing dials, invert the colours, and print the result out on the EL sheet. then wire up the inverter and you have cool glow dials. simples.
