Guys it's worse than that, looks like the needles broke it was over the other side past 180mph mark, resting at the bottom of the gauge.
I think it's a gauge fault personally and was keeping this in my watched list to send you a link:

Look like they'd drop straight in, yours went to 180mph right?

They would actually be better dials for it anyways, as that's got the H22 tacho on it, to match the H22 that's now in there, as opposed to the F22 gauges that are currently in there.
Actually, that wouldn't have caused any issues with the speedo and cause it to break would it?

Nah, I ran H23 dials with my H22 for ages before I got all the bits for the EL conversion.
