Default glass gauge ring/band re-fit

In removing the speedometer gauge I pried foolishly between the rubber and the metal band. It and the glass came off.
Gather it was permanently attached when assembled.
Reattach? Epoxy sparingly?

The bezel is crimped/rolled over the lip of the plastic housing.

crimped/rolled
...or even swaged.

Roll it back down with an unopened soup can. If you feel uncomfortable doing it PM me and I'll do it for you.

Here's a DIY provided by rennlist's very own, mgianzero...

I think you'll find this helpful in how to removeand reinstall the bezel and glass...

The glass just drops back inside the bezel, then the speedo housing, and then work/roll/swage/crimp the backside of the bezel ring, over the lip of the speedo housing.

Check it out.
