Hi Kevin,
How did you do/get the 'low coolant' writing/sign in place of the seatbelt warning light, looking to do this mod for myself ?

Regards Paul

It's quite simple to prise apart, discard the fasten seatbelt legend and replace it with a low coolant legend printed at home on a piece of clear plastic.

I found some thinners in the garage and cleaned off all the black (thanks for the tip) and here is a before and after pic.

If anyone has a use for my old OPG just let me know.

Hi Kev,

Did you take the gauges out, or do them in situ?

Cheers...Al

[Kevin Garrod]

I just popped them out enough to remove the bezels.

Not long ago I did a check for a chrome ring to fit over the exposed Hole around the Hazard switch. I found something that might work on AliExpress and ordered. It fits - just! I had to wrap it with many rounds of tape and then just pushed it into place. The outer diameter ot the ring is just bigger than the Hole in the dash, effectively making the hole more correct for the swicth. What do you think?

I had to buy 10, so I have 9 I do not need.

That's a neat job, Ian. It certainly tidied that 'unfinished' hole.
