Should have bought the real deal from jager engineering, the ebay ones are junk compared to his. But you must remove the instrument cluster glass, be very careful!!! Then you remove eash gauge then you use very small amounts of contact adhesive on the rings, let them set and reverse the process.

Good luck, mine came out great but they are jager rings

Thanks Lumbergs, what is the difference between ebay and Jager rings? In the pictures they look the same. Have you physically seen the ebay ones to make this comparison

John, pics on ebay tell it like it is.


Aribop, did you mount the rings betweent the gage and the black casing or on front of the black casing (ie on top of everything).

I think if i mount it between the case and the gage it will be a more firm fit and not show any cracks.

What glue did you use? Any tips?

ahhhh. worked it out. I have mounted them between the gage and the cluster plastic. They are a nice tight fit and dont require any glue once you screw the plastic housing back down. they look good. Its night time at the moment and i did notice that you get a little reflection off the dash light (as it acts like a mirror). This means you can see the concealed lighting which is not ideal. But so far I like the look... and if i change my mind i can easily remove them (ie no glue) )

They are heavier and brushed aluminum where as the Ebay ones are shinier and less well made. Glad it came out good for you, I don't get any reflections in mine.
