I changed out the blue background in my gauges as well - there was no contrast between the background and the numbers on the speedo and it’s hard to see at night - turning into a restorer ImageImage

Sorry mate forgot all about taking a pic , it sits in front of the base when its flipped forward , the pivot is probably 150-200 mm forward of the back.

Its in the car and flipped forward in the pic of the cab back , that should give you an idea ???

It touches on the wheel Mick, that's what stops it from going any further forward.
