I have never seen those dials myself in any member's cars here
There are two types of people on forums; those that give helpful advice, and the others

They look like really early KMCs with Shakey's polished needle cups. Old school.

Yep, Definitely KMC (V3 from memory). I bought a set of these for my first FTO.

They seem to be rare as chickens teeth.
At least I now have know who originally made them for a Google search. Even then, I'm going to struggle....
I'm not a fan of the EL style dials and theses are just plain old dials with the OEM back lighting, albeit replaced with SMD LED's.
I've already got the needle cups and surround, but the brushed version as not a fan of shiny.

Yeah, you sort of need to find them in a car being parted out. They wouldnt be common. Was certainly a fan of that design myself.

I think the last time I saw an FTO in a breakers yard was when I picked up the bonnet I currently have attached to the car. Generally, they don't appear local to me. The last time I saw another FTO, was so long ago I can't remember!

I've been reliably informed that the dials are KMC, but also a copy of an AWD Japan dial:
Either way, I'm still looking for the clock and volt dials.

I've just ordered a full set of dials off Ebay to get the sizes ... gonna have a go at making custom ones. If it turns out I'm as clever as I think I am
I'll have a go at making these ones for you

That sounds like a plan!
