i bought some lockwood dials but wondering if i need to remove the old ones when i fit these? or will they just stick over the top?

and what do i do about the white needles against the dials, wont be very clear.

Yes you do need to rememove old ones. Also be carefull taking them out,as the needle mechnisim are very delicate.

Pi$$ easy, cut off your current dials with a stanley knife

Slip the new ones over, press down, and replace

Just be careful with the needles as said

And why do you say plasma dials are harder? Its the same concept

i said its harder because of the amount of people complaining they had broken there gt needles so i suposed the plasma dials are harder, there probably thicker and harder to bend round the needles.
