That's perfect. Wear gloves, the smell takes weeks to get out your skin.

Ok so today my new clocks came with the rev counter in them. Very easy to put them in and i changed the speedo's over so that i was able to keep my original 39k miles instead of 146k! Some pics below...

Pleased with the new dash clocks, only paid £17 for them off of ebay and they came quick as well! *The last picture of them lit up is with the new mileometre with more miles on it, my original one (which is now in) only has 39k

Why is everyone using the 206 boss? Is it cheaper or something?

I got it because it was only £20 compared to like £40 or £50 that some of the other ones were and because i know that the 206 one fits. Not sure about any other that fit, do you?
