Thumbs up Dash lights

Hi guys,

I recently embarked on a mission to find some tell-tale dash lights which carried the ISO symbols suitable for Engineer approval. Basically, there were none that I could find. Options available were to use a light cluster from another vehicle or use an aftermarket integrated cluster module. Neither of these gave the dash a particularly original look. I saw that Robnell were screen-printing the symbols on their lights but this had a durability issue as it could be scratched off. Besides, I’ve not been able to contact Robnell in recent times. Therefore I was forced to create my own. After doing the artwork in Autocad, I got a local engraver to experiment using a Laser engraver on the face of a Britax light. The results were terrific and I already have 4 people wanting a set. So that I could get a discounted bulk price I did a run of 10 sets. If you’re interested in securing a set for yourself then let me know.

The lights I’ve done the artwork for are as per the picture below:-
Dash lights

The pricing is as follows:-
Engraving Only AUD$5 each light
Light + Engraving AUD$12 each light

The price is minimal when you consider that Repco charge $8.50 per light (and that’s not engraved !).

The engraving includes the white enamel infill.

If you want them mailed then I’ll need to charge you whatever Australia Post charge. If folks outside of Australia are interested then this can be arranged too.

Note this doesn’t include the 12V globes which are easily found at any auto supplier.

If you're interested, then send me a PM of which lights you need and I’ll arrange it.

Let me know if there is a particular symbol you are after if you don’t see it here.

The dimensions of the lights are below…

Some other pictures of the lights…

Get in fast !

Adrian.

Hi Adrian,

I would like some of your dash lights too please.
I need to go down to the shed tommorrow after work to see what ones I will need though.

I had made up a little sticker for our brake fail light (at the engineers request) but your engraved light covers look heaps better.

I will get back real soon to you as to the ones I require

Regards
Lyn

G'day Adrian,

Put me down for a complete set - great work!
Are you going to the next vic meeting? Could settle it there?


ps I think I'll have to link the seatbelt warning light to my boost gauge so it'll flash when ever there is positive pressure in the manifold

Sure thing Bernie but remember that 10% of nothing is still nothing. Perhaps we could trade - I'll have 10% of yours for 10% of mine ? How about it ?

Cheers,
Adrian.

Lightbulb Reluctantly must withdraw my offer

Adrian



Now, now, now, there's only 780.541% profit in it for me, so I could never agree to your proposition. I reluctantly must withdraw my offer.



My Solicitor will draw up the necessary paperwork (books/volumes) for signature



Seriously, like the look of the warning lights though.


Cheers

Bernie

Hi Boxhead,

You've missed the first boat. Just waiting for more passengers for the second. You're number 2 on the list. Let's wait a week or so and see if there are more takers. I'll also ask around at the club meeting next week.

Cheers,
Adrian.
