tacho needle melted - davrai - 27-04-2010
hi all
ive already pm a few members as im looking for a tacho needle as mine in the last few days has been distorted/ melted from only what i think can be the sun magnified through the double bubble screen
bloody surprised when i noticed it today as it wasn't there a few days ago and ive been through some sunny day this summer with no problem at all
if anyone with a damaged dash could help, im more than happy to pay for the part, freight (and handling if needed)
its actually melted in middle on the edge with a slight stain on the fascia but hasn't affected the operation but i don't want a melted needle on my dash.
thanks
Dave

I've got a melted spot on my Gen1 dash from magnified sun from the double bubble screen. In the past some members put a sticker at the front of their screen to help stop this. I know it doesn't help in your case, but you're right in how it probably happenned.

Hey davrai - what DB screen do you have?
Tossing up between the Zero Gravity and the Puig and if yours was one of these I may swing the other way.
