    Dennis,
    Heres a shot of where the housings meet, When cutting the housing I lost around 1mm of hieght due to finishing and blade movemnt etc, the cone shape angles mean the more you loose in height the more you expose when finished. slow and steady is key.

    Its not perfect but close enough vs effort....

    thanks for sharing.
    gives your car a different looks with the fejslift speedo

    the newer facelift clusters for clk and w210 AMG cars seems to be inferior in build quality compared to our c43 clusters?
    i've never seen a c43 cluster with faded lcd, i've seen many fokked up lcd displays on the other cars.

    if you had bought my prefacelift w210 AMG cluster and swapped some of the parts between clusters you still would have had the original looks but with a 300 scale instead of the 280.

    while you're working on your project don't forget to take important snapshots and share them with us!
    good luck and god speed.
