Series 1 Dial needle pointer colour

[240znz]

All,

My series 1 240z has had it's dash dials out at some stage. The pointers are that bright fluro orange/red paint.

Is this standard on early examples? I suspect not.

I believe the original pointers are white....against black gauge faces, at least on the USA Zs.

[260Zed]

When I was changing my tacho around (swapping guts and keeping original face etc) I used a two wire one from a 240k (I think) and it had a red/orange needle originally, although it was quite a bit smaller from memory and would have looked a little wierd on the original 240z face. Maybe someone's been playing swapsies with yours too?

But no, no zeds I've seen have had that.

FWIW

Luke
