Mini Gauges

[MacMcMacmac]

Well, looks like the vibes have finally had their way with my mini gauges. The led's in the speedo have detached from the face and are lying in the case. Looks like the top ring is crimped on. Anyone have a foolproof method of opening and closing this kind of setup? I guess the stockers were set in a rubber ring for a reason.

Hard to get 'em looking good recrimping.
Your idea of rubber cushion rings could hide that...

Hi Mac,
those mini-gauges ain't expensive. It'll cost you more in aggro to attempt fixing them than it will in money buying new ones.
