The indicator needles on the instruments on my 1983 300SD were seriously faded, the original orange having turned to yellow in several cases.

A few moments work and a paintbrush and they look like new and quite gorgeous.

I have illustrated the job on my web site - go to Cars - Technical - Chassis.

Enjoy your 'new' instruments.

once again thank you thomas for an excellant pictorial project.

i will be forwarding my list of projects that need to be done. say how are you at modifying a snow thrower attachment on yard tractors???

only kidding. but you've done it again another terrific job.

tks
