Morning finally had a chance to make some progress on the dash , it is now fitted but not yet bolted in. This will allow me check the warning lights and gauges , i would probably not want to do the same again!but it does look good , rewiring the BMW circuit board to allow for warning lights on the dash was not easy as there is also limited space to fit everything in . The lights i ended up using were small chrome LED units , all the supposed "classic style lights" i saw were much to large , this is the first time i have used LED lights and the quality of the unit is just OK , after wiring up them i thought they were rubbish as a number did not work! it turns out that unlike the normal 12v dc bulbs the LED`s only work with batt and earth one way around
. The rewired BMW circuit board can be seen in the second photo but will be hidden by the new centre console but the mileometer will still be able to be seen , Geoff .
