Why not just get the orange needles out of a 1.6 sport?

Yeah you can paint the needles- Dale who used to work at Bradshaws did them on his old corsa, same colour as his bodywork. And they are painted in exactly the same way as you'd usually paint things apparently. Not sure if the paint had any "weight" effect on the dials though (if that makes sence?!)

ah yea, i didnt think about the weight part of it, although if you were to use the airfix paint stoof i dont think that is a really heavy paint
