You may have them fitted inside out, but at least you fitted them from the rear of the binnacle - not that anyone would be silly enough to have removed the clear plastic and fitted from the front of course...

It makes good reading... And so people DON'T fit them wrong like me But hey I'm not bothered it just makes the next time round a bit easier that's all

Aha! Found this:

I will investigate and take things steady. It appears if I dont fully push em on and use a bit of sealant they will probably be OK

Did I listen to the more experienced mg people NO so it serves me right I have two little issues but hey ho I can try again . Like others have said the temp + petrol needles stick a bit as they are tight so there's 2 options. 1 shorten the back of the needles 2 file a bit of metal off dunno which I'm going for yet

But at least if someone tries to nick it they won't get far and won't know about HGF lol

This is the problem in a bit.more detail see how the back of the needle sticks on the alloy ring

your not the only one to have fitted them the wrong way Ben

i think they look great though

Got mine in

And these

Mine caught for a while. But have found they started to move ok after a while, not sure why.... How would you shorten the needle? What best way to do this Ben?

Precise hands ans dremmel cutting wheel I'm going to file a bit off the metal to push the lot a bit righter and then it should clear the movement

May be worth leaving a while to see if yours move like mine? Save you filing?

Yeah the petrol one has cured itself but ill file them over the next few days
