New Mod : Tacho Rings
 
2 Attachment(s)
Just did this today, had a bit of problem opening the case, but got to it eventually after trying different tricks:) The rings are very good quality. Got them on Ebay germany for 29 euro. They are not from plastic, but solid aluminium. When I mounted them, they clicked in right away, but they didn't stay 'rock solid' in place. You could still turn them around a bit inside the plastic holes of the casing. But once you put the 2 parts of the tacho housing together, they got stuck and nothing rattled at all. Hopefully you can all understand what I'm saying here:)

I know exactly what you mean - I've done this mod too. I forget which ones I bought now, but they snapped in very tightly even before I snapped everything back together - no glue or anything like that. Nice job - looks great! Great bang for the buck with this mod! :thumbup:

Hi,

Which is the seller or ebay store where you have bought them?

Thanks

was the rings titanium/aluminum look or chromed/polished stainless?
I saw someone with rings with "click", is that the one?

what do you mean by 'click'?

steelgray 02-19-2007 03:45 PM

"mit click" I translate to "snap-in".
