New Chrome Instrument Rings

Post by Rodosuta »

I'm having trouble finding a source for new rings for the instruments on my 66.
Does any body sell them or is my only option to refinish the originals, which are quite pitted.

Good Luck! Maybe you can find a place that can make them for you and make a million, LOL. Seriously though, I have not seen them offered but there is someone who is mentioned on here regularly who apparently does a great job of refurbishing gauges.

Only option is to have them refinished
The gentleman that was doing them for the community is Jon , he was was doing this as a sideline/service but has stopped doing them as it takes too much time out of his regular business and he doesn’t have the time to prioritize making them

Here are 3 options that can do the work for you
