I've just put mine on today and found that the speedo lens doesn't have a hole for the odo reset button. Any reason why? I managed to chip mine nicely as I didn't go quite big enough with my first attempt at drilling it. Cheers Kev

I considered the drilling option but as it needs to be on an angle- not perpendicular- to the lens I thought I would give it a miss. Mine were in pretty good shape in any case. Was it only the GTS that had the change needle? Cheers Jacko

I've got a feeling my dash is originally out of a WB ute. It's been in at least 6 vehicles that I know of... Big thanks to Tour Director for getting in touch with me to discuss the lenses. They are not made with the hole as not all models have the button. I'm not really concerned about mine as it's not a show car. The hole is probably marginally bigger than it needs to be and not on an angle. The first 5.5mm hole I put in it was pretty good but not large enough. The chipping occurred when I went to a 6mm hole. I'm pretty happy with the kit, it definitely smartens my old dash up. Having a button on the clock is a super bonus. Cheers

I was referring to the tacho lens on a HKTG kit and the change needle. Here is a shot of mine from the inside out And another off to the left Seems you had the same issue but for your od reset. Weird there is no hole for this as one would think it pretty usual. Cheers Jacko
