When I bought my FC, that's the very first thing I changed, those gawdawful phone dials. I did find a use for them. A friend of mine borrowed them for his SE so he could practice drifting and burnouts. They came back showing the cords.

They are called phone dials because of the old 'rotary' dial phones that predated the push button ones. They fit the rear fine, never tried them on the front.
