Holes drilled from the wrong side of the board so that the surface broke off when the drill came through

How about the fact that when you are doing your 80km/h maximum, you're doing 14000rpm?

Some bright spark has transposed the tacho and speedo glass or innards.

Yes well that bright spark is me :oops: there's no clips to hold the faces on so when I was putting the temp dash in I just saw numbers on the faces and put them in :)

It's ok 'cos I just double the speed gauge and halve the rpm gauge to get the correct readings :D
