Jms Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Those of you with the Mookee MK1 switch overlays in black, blue and white, would you kindly post some pics of your setup? Should anyone with extra sets of white and blue overlays wish to sell, kindly contact me. I also would like to know whether anyone modded their AC controller to match the Mookee MK1 blue gauges, and if so, any pointers would be welcomed.

Fanta Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 www.mookeeh.com http://www.mookeeh.com/star-gauge-1.jpg also, as for the AC control's, someone has a write up somewhere, but essentially you will be taking apart the controls and replacing the orange film with blue etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jms Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Star_v8_quest / Fanta, Thanks for the replies. Yes, I posted about the side cluster switch overlays. I already have the Mookie gauge overlays, and I did contact him for the switch overlays, but apparently he has no more. I also know that a few bought more than one set of switch overlays and wondered whether anyone might consider selling an extra set, provided that they were the colors that I was after. I also contacted Importintelligence but they do only offer the switch overlays with the gauges. I would have purchased a gauge set from them, just to get the switch overlays, but was told that the markings would still have to be in orange. I have a few extra AC controllers as well as side switches and clocks to disassemble and convert to blue to match the gauges, otherwise the auto will be returned back to orange.Once again, thanks to you both for the help offered.Rgds,Jms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jms Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yesterday I dissasembled an AC controller and found it a piece of cake. Very simple to change all the colors. Now I have to find someone who can make overlays, including the one for the face of the AC controller (besides the ones for the side switches). To make this change,one plastic filter and several reflectors need be changed to the color desired. These reflectors are painted and would need to be cleaned of the old color first, before applying the new desired hue. Hope that this can be of help to others.Should someone know of anyone who could make a high quality overlay, please do let me know.

Jms Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 losisong, mxg on this site can make the overlays. I am preparing my designs before sending them to him for production. I am also going to replace all the bulbs with LED's. Rgds,Jms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livesTSI Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Jms, post a pic of your ac controller. That sounds pretty cool, Id like to see what it looks like illuminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jms Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 livesTSI, I'm still preparing the layouts for the overlays. Once I finish, I'll supply all details including parts needed and their sources. If all goes as planned, even the LED displays for both the AC controller and clock will show as white (numeric pad) against a blue background. The overlays that I designed will be able to be customized to any desired light color, by either changing the lenses or the LED/bulb colors. Mine's an 88 Fiji TSi and the AC display will still be black, with the orange lines changed to white (also the "Auto air conditioner" above the display will be in white).At this time there are a lot of ideas, which I do not foresee any problems carrying out. Should anyone have interesting suggestions, please feel free to speak up.Rgds,Jms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laodicea Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 What do you guys do if the little towers break that hold the switch down on the side overlays? Also do you still use that rubber piece with the 3 squares when putting the overlay back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Venable Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) the pieces are all new starting with .010 thick clear pvc sheet, I printed 2 reversed clear decals, and left where it was orange clear since I don't have a scanner, I took a picture, then tweaked it back into shape in Photoshop, then changed/adjusted the "colors" then placed the 2 printouts on the plastic on top of each other to create some opacity in the black, but as you can see, I had to back that with the paint marker, because it wasn't enough Edited October 19, 2009 by D_Venable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
