KMC still going??

Postby Daz » Tue Jan 10, 2017 7:41 pm

I have some KMC white dials with blue lighting in the car but they are starting to lose their brightness so looking to replace them. I checked the wiring to make sure it wasn't that and the dimmer was already up to the max. But i clicked on the KMC Link on thr myfto site but go a page doesn't exsist. Has he stopped doing them.... and if i am honest i'd like to upgrade to his glow dials which i have seen on youtube. Anyone have a link that works?

The Wayback machine doesn't show anything after 2008, so the info@kmc-dials.com email will be dead too.

I'd say it's gone the way of a lot of the old FTO reliables.
I'll have a look tomorrow to see if I can find an address for you if you like, I think I still have the box my dials came in.

Any good? http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Mitsubishi-FTO-m ... SwDNdViSc1

I am also pretty sure I wrote about an australian company who does custom glow dials. They did fto dials. You would have to search my posts though. They cost around €150 iirc

I had a look in the garage and found the transformer that came with the dials but that was all.
I didn't use the clock or voltmeter dials that came with the kit and was sure I kept them all together but can't seem to put my hand on them... sorry Daz.
If I find anything I'll let you know.

There's actually another set just gone up for sale.
I don't know the seller, and to be honest I wouldn't invite someone to join the forum just to sell something.
The guy's name is Max Denby, in Guildford. Have a look on their group.
