Then temporarily tape them in place while they dry (~24 hours) - I used blue masking tape.

Like LI911 said above, just use clear silicone and blue painter's tape.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had these lying around in my garage for about 6 months. Put them on a few weekends ago and am just now getting used to seeing them. They really pop after the interior detail.

POST 5Original post

Not sure where Gonzo got his, but I purchased a set on e-bay few weeks ago for I think $35+ S. They do make a difference with the black cluster.

POST 6Original post

Looks really good and I've always like the white gauges.

POST 9Original post

I think they look great, but surprisingly I've had a tough time finding any suppliers for these...correction...reasonable suppliers!

Which seller? Thx

POST 12Original post

Nice, How do you fit them? (Mine are in the garage, just waiting to be installed). Any information would be of great help. Thank�s.

I got mine for $35 (shipping included). ac-rtech was the seller on ebay. it doesn't look like he has any aluminum versions listed right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-986-...1127e1&vxp=mtr

Put a small bead of clear silicone around the inside edge of each ring. Then temporarily tape them in place while they dry (~24 hours) - I used blue masking tape.

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for your comments. I got these at http://www.eagleday.com/interiortrim3.html and they were pricey ($177) but they are very well made, nice and heavy and the finish was perfect. Like LI911 said above, just use clear silicone and blue painter's tape. Make sure you have a few Q-tips handy to take off any excess that might seep out onto the cluster lens'. The 3 largest rings fit great, but the smallest rings (OP and Voltage Meter) definitely needed more silicone and needed a full day to set up.

I could be wrong but it looks like yours are "beefier" than the ones I got on ebay.

They are definitely sturdier than I expected.
