MG TD TF 1500 - 30A Ammeter decals
I have had 30A ammeter decals made to fit the 30A BM4 ammeters. I have received samples in silver and clear for those who want to re-spray the original dial face in the "greenish hue". They have just arrived and I am very pleased. I could also do the 20A version or other small dials. Regards Declan ![]() |

Declan, That's great, I am interested it two clear 30 A decals. Now the question is where can I get the green paint. John |

John, MOTIP acrylic no. 52710 which is available here. I have ordered it this morning to compare it to the Ford crystal green recommended by some on the BBS. The Ford looks too green for my liking. Regards Declan |

I have compared both the Motip and the Duplicolor Ford crystal green paints. It is difficult to see on this photo but the Motip paint is by far the better match to my original rev counter dial. Regards Declan ![]() |

Declan, I strongly urge you spray a "test piece" before you spray the actual item you intend to use. I had the experience of the actual paint color in the can did NOT match the color of the cap. Cheers Gary 79 MGB |

Here are the test pieces. Again hard to see but which one looks the best? Regards Declan ![]() |

Dial is finished and I am quite happy. The difficult thing is applying it without getting any air bubbles but I have a method! Regards Declan ![]() |

All back together now with a new bezel and O ring. When I see the cost of exchange units it is a rewarding effort. Regards Declan ![]() |

A better shot. Regards Declan ![]() |
