well......... I have a load of mk1 dial faces for those with knackered Mk1's or for folk that have access to correct sealled cabinet units to convert Mk2's Just need kev to confirm what the state of play is with the Mk1 gauges....or anyone with access to a counter for that matter ?

the problems are as discussed above George, the Dr I spoke to offered a method but people need to understand that there are risks involved and as Kevin has said he deals with this stuff on a daily basis.. make an informed decision before doing anything, the main issue is with particle inhilation / ingestion i copied a link from a medical professor regarding absorbtion rates etc etc have a read !


Now then.... on Ricks thread a very good point was raised, what needs to happen with the information now is to educate people rather than create hysteria, the UK government for example have a knack of having knee jerk reactions to stuff and going OTT on dealing with it....what we dont want is folk having thier gauges ripped out of trucks etc and being ordered to dispose of them due to them being radium luminised.
