Rev counter screen

[rocarhol]

In my infinate wisdom ive cracked the rev counter screen trying to screw a phone holder on to it

does anyone know if i can get a replacement anywhere without having to buy the whole unit?

cheers

It may be possible to just get the plastic screen, speak to Karl (TwingoGeekeo) or post this over in the SMC Renault part of things and he will be able to advice you further

There's 1 on eBay for £40

I've never taken it apart, but would it not be possible to take the cover off the front, have a new piece of perspex cut to the same shape to replace the original, and re-fit the cover?!

i do feel a bit silly for trying something so retarded, but it seems like the perfect place to stick a phone mount!

guess I'll ask karl.

haha tut, ah well, ive done some reallyyyy stupid stuff dont you worry.. if you want to mount it using a screw, you need to pilot it first

use a drill bit about a millimeter smaller than the thread of the screw, and should tighten up nicely and safely

ive spoken to renault about getting a new piece of plastic for my rev counter... unfortunately renault only sell the item complete... but at £129.84, that seems a wee bit steep to me

i cant even make my own because its not just a perspex disk; its got clips and bits that i cant replicate

Quick ebay search, at least that's 50% less!

yeah i saw that... i was hoping to spend more like £10!

nevermind, i dont drive my car fast enough to worry about looking at the rev counter anyways, so i may just cover it up with something... mebs put a photo of a cat playing the keyboard in there or something

Not surprised its that much. Perhaps nick the kne out of Karl's car at a meet. He doesn't use it anyway
