[W126 Coupe] gauge Bezel Rings

[Jon Pridham]

Hi Mark,

I fitted these suprisingly with some ease! - this is how i did it.....

# Remove the dial cluster from the dashboard - disconect the cabling
# I then removed the 3 dials from the binicle - i then cleaned the inside of 
the perspex as mine was a little dirty.
# I then started with the 2 smaller rings first by passing them through the 
larger centre appature
# the 2 chrome rings just push onto the bezels and stay on via the stick goo 
they put on the back of the chrome rings
# the centre bezel ring has a flat on the bottom - so i rotated it until it 
passed through the centre appature, fitting is as per the 2 smaller ones.
# i then cleaned again to get rid of any marks left by my latex gloves
# reassemble dials as per normal.

Sometimes, depending on the dial binicle, or the chrome ring manufacturer, 
the centre chrome ring will need the bottom lip on the flat trimming to fit 
sweetly onto the bezel.

Be careful when mocking it up as the chrome ring can scratch the top of the 
inside of the dial binicle if it needs trimming - they don't always tell you 
this when purchasing them!

I think that's all of it...
