On the 'Activa' moulds you should add (in small print) "Cubed Tumbleweed"!

A lighting alignment rig using a spare slam panel.
As I know MY lights are perfectly aligned then switching from them to the new lamp units should get me 95% correct to marks on the garage door put there using my existing OEM lamp units.

Made a new (high) work bench from an old gate post (cut in half), some nice thick ply as a work surface and positioned next to wood stove to keep nice and warm.

I'd "mirror" it. Maken the figures and the bigger dash green and the smaller in between ones white. And the 70 red....

I wonder if it might be possible, when the RPM hit the red line, to make the RPM gauge colour switch from green to red?
