Can anyone tell me how to install the aluminum instrument trim rings?

I'm thinking of using a 3M adhesive spray on their inside of the ring. Or is there a good way of doing it?

Cheers,

Boris,
I used rubber cement glue.

I used black rubberised glue also. It works a charm and insures that they fit very well.

Four little dots of a silicon adhesive like Permatex will hold like a champ and allow removal and easy cleanup if ever desired.

Boris, I went to the local office supply store and picked up some poster mounting tape -- it is double sided and can be easily removed without leaving any residue.

boris i used poster putty .. i wadded it up in a tiny little ball and placed 4 on each ring and presto done. it's snug but the rings can be taken off easily without damaging anything.

Poster putty, purchased at Lowe's. Worked like a charm!

I used "Museum Wax" which is easily removable and very sticky. Kind of like soft parrafin. I got it in an Art store, and it is designed to keep your statues stuck down during earthquake tremors, ahh California...

Ditto on the poster putty. Mine have been on for about a year and a half with no problems.

How do you get the black ones off??

OG - I think the new ones fit over the black ones (no need to remove them).

Phil

the rings go over the black plastic rings

Cool, thanks guys, that was on my upgrade list.
But right now gotta pay for some muffler bypasses
and some ROW springs and euro torsion bar

All the trim rings go on over the top edges of the gauges...

...oops, sorry, never mind.

Old guy,

When you come down to visit, you can see my trim rings. I used double sided tape because I am a mechanical doofus, and knew I'd make a mess with anything else. 10 minute install, even for me. And its a "Euro turbo rear sway bar", not a "torsion bar"... you're gonna really confuse a few folks. And I've been told that I'm already very confused.
