[W126 Coupe] Dashboard Readout modification

[Axel Wulff]

Vance,

Have you considered the white gauge face kit from Performance Products?

It is a bit steep at $150 (compared to the $25 ebay paper stencils), but I
think Talbir put them in one of his vehicles and spoke highly of them.

They are available here:

e+Faces

The other alternative would of course be the ebay vendor.

But he does not seem to have the 170 mph. version available anymore.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Axel

Don't know if it's still available, but some years back I think it was Eddie
that organised the laser cut dahboard readout complete replacement for the
560 (speedo,tacho and so on) so not only would the display look a lot
brighter more like the  modern MB's, but a lot easier to read. But my main
reason is also the speedo was calibrated in both KPH and MPH. As my Euro 560
is only calibrated in KPH, being back in the UK is a pain having only KPH on
my speedo.
Back at the time, I remember there was the question if this was available
with the triangle cut-out for the ASR light.
Are these still available? if so where from and how much, and lastly are
they a pain to fit? and were they eventually made to accommodate the ASR
triangle?
Hope someone can help.
Cheers,
Vance.
