dash lights flickering - but only some of them Options

[davewuyts]

I have a flicker on the rev counter and left side of the speedo. It's only the lights not the needles. The right side of speedo and the guages are not doing it. I've fiddled with the plugs behind the speedo/rev counter and done all I can think of to make sure connections are ok. It doesn't have a converter so no problem there. It seems faulty.

After checking all the connections, the bulbs, the bulb holders, each wire into the connecting plugs, the plugs themselves etc. still no joy. All are fine but still flickery dials. I tested the alternator and it was fine, I didn't think it could be that as it does it when the engine is not running and only on a couple of bulbs. And it did it on another set of clocks too so it's not the clocks.

Do you think it's the loom or does anyone have any ideas of anything else I can check? I do have the loom still in my donor car. Any help would be appreciated!

Will try the pencil eraser thing, that might work.
The battery is quite new and the alternator was reconditioned less than 5000 miles ago. I think if it was that it would affect all of the guages not just the left hand ones.
