muhahahaha ill probablies only need about 7 or 8 of them

2 for digital bit and 1 each fo the needles (might, might not) and a few warning lights

best thing to do is ask him if he has any more, also some white ones on there, they might be interesting

richo · 24th March 2007, 15:56

Yea i did think white also.

Shall see lol, i'll ask him if he has more.

stevenet15 · 24th March 2007, 15:57

yeah ask him if he has any more, there are others on ebay but cost more
