I have finally got the gauges back from the instrument shop... The speedo is pretty good, but I did notice that the trip meter wasn't turning back to 0..I pulled the cover off it, and sure enough the shop had put 3 stainless steel washers over the push stick of the trip meter.. The washers were fouling on the frame of the speedo and not allowing the thing to turn back to 0..
So I removed the washers, and it worked perfectley..
They also fixed the wiring issue.. The fulla that did the work owned a HZ with the GTS gauges in it.. He had a look at it, and the two 'Red 5V' posts just link together.. lol Simple fix!! So they did that for me and also replaced a few blown globes.
They gauges now have their new lenses, and are in the car and hooked up (minus the tacho and the clock..) and am now just waiting for the fascia to finish stripping and then it should finally be installed!!

Thanks for all the help people!! Hopefully it all works, I will know once the gearbox is back in and I can start the engine up!![]()
