Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to change the dial of the Mini R50 tachometer: disassembling the instrumentation is not difficult, even though the youtuber does not show us how, but tells us to lever with a spatula and then simply pull up, and then remove the needle.

We can choose to replace the dial, but if we choose to use an original accessory, we can spend a lot of money.

We recommend a more economical alternative: stickers that we can find on AliExpress, and we can choose from various designs and colors. At code 1005006332533677 at the price of 14.39 euros + 2.42 euros for shipping.

Once the piece is replaced, or the sticker is installed, comes the difficult part: repositioning the needle. We can take the opportunity to clean the polycarbonate covering the tachometer well and then put everything back in place.
