If you get a set of UKDM EL dials, you can ditch the converter entirely. Guide for swapping them in here:

I have a whole EL set with all the gubbins in my garage - MINE though! :P

The link I posted would be a quick, cheap solution - easy to change. But changing to EL dials is more work, more parts and more money.

I have a set of non-el h23 ukdm dial you can have for p&p. Can ditch the converter and they should be plug and play. Still the wrong redline though.
