LED's installed

[SportoEvans]

Finished freshening the instruments: remove dials , clean glass, sand back & paint bezels (and surround dash) with wurth satin black & insert new "vintage white" LED's - much better and recommend the "vintage" LED's as not too bright

look fantastic !
how did yoo get the bezels off ? i thought this required a special tool to undo the peening ? i think its called.

Adam - I used a glass polish on exterior side.

Craig - getting off the bezels is time consuming. You must go super slow and avoid bending the inside edge too far back. I used a combination of a really small flat head screwdriver and a jewellers hook to get them off and a larger screwdriver to crimp and flatten back the edge. However, it is impossible to get the inside edges back on smooth as per VDO would have done it. They must have had some sort of machine to press down the bezel over the casing.

Also new rubber seals for each instrument.
