you da man paul!!!!

some come with an adhesive strip so they are stick on

Thanks Aaron but that sounds a little cheesey way to attach maybe just a drop a silicon is the way to go and you can trim of the xcess when dry

Also I'll leave them raw alum and you can finish any way ya want

sillycon

get to work paul!

id be down for some 'natural' or 'line grained' ones

I'd love to have a set. They would look great around a 904 gauge huh Aaron?? Hint Hint

Hint hint not
! I will make some ever since I talked to someone at Sklines Bar-BQ who said he needed some for his very nice Red 914 but hated to spend that kind of money on them .After seeing some in a few Mags I have to agree.As soon as I can get into my garage and get the dims from the gagues I'll see what I can do

I used trim tape, that is what they recommend for Speedo, tach, and fuel, oil, gauge, on the smaller gauges for the center console, you have to remove the ring that is on there and glue the trim ring onto the gauge.

lkhgdf;gda

Where do you apply the tape on the edge or inside .I'm new to this stuff so don't laugh

Just cut yourself off a few small pieces of tape and place down inside the groove of the trim ring, then press the ring over the existing ring and wala its in place and isn't going anywhere. Its great for when you pull the gauges out the ring just comes off easy enough and then you can take out your tach, speedo, etc. Then just put the right back on after your finished doing what you need to do to the gauge. Once there on they don't move they stay in place.

Very cool where can I source the tape?

You can get the tape at any FLAPS. Get the trim tape has a great hold to it.

About how thick is the tape ???

Maybe 1/8" very plyable.

so paul.... you need a beta tester?
