nope, i havent got any wiring for them yet. but the easy bit is done. need to trim the surround a bit later on at work, and then that should fit as well and all look neat and tidy.
also i have to alter the top half of the steering column shrowd somehow

now i was thinking about this before.......

the ONLY way to get them to work is to take the mechanism from the corsa dials and hide it behind the porsche ones then reprint a porsche dial to coinside with the same scale as the corsa ones so that needles starts in smae place etc (i changed it on mine)

very easy job, you could do rev counter too, then and wire all necessary bulbs as normal

weekend or work tops

hardest part will be screen printing new dials

I'm sure there are more ways than that.
If you knew what form the signals were supposed to be in for both you should be able to program a microcontroller to do the job.
