dash inverter?

[adamescortcosworth]

Does anyone on here know where I can get a new dash illumination inverter? As ive lost the illumination on my clocks and pod .

You can buy one from RS Components but you will have to retro fit it as the originals are not available now.

Birba looks to be the best place - I think RS Components discontinued this product.

As said, if its the invertor then they all go out - check all the connections on the 3 gauges.

Just got my new invertor.
Any tips&tricks on removing the clocks from the dash?

My rev counter is always dark, but the others most of the time.
It happens sometimes that they light up for a few minutes and then go dark again?
You guys think this is the inverter?
Also, my rev counter only works when the car is really warm, or when it stood in the sun for a while.. Strange car! LOL
