Has anybody managed to source any chrome or aluminium rings that would fit the factory supplied gauges ?

You need to speak to Speedy Cables.

Try ETB they sell VDO instruments and have an FAQ that covers chrome bezels

www.etbinstruments.com/FAQ_Gauges.htm#Q4


14. What outer bezels do you make?


We currently make black, chrome or polished brass bezels.

I tried ETB but they can't supply a >200mph 80mm speedo (I know don't say it). Ultima can supply 240mph and 8000 rpm tacho.

Get this - I called Speedy today - they can do it but need to fit the bezels themselves. That's OK, but then I found out I can't have the bezel put on my gauges via the factory as they don't consider it an option. So I've got to send them all the way back to Speedy myself to have it done.

Something doesn't stack up here, know what I'm saying ?

D'oh - what I forgot to mention was that Speedy supply OE gauges to the factory.

Don't forget the bezel could be an SVA failure which may be why the factory don't want to know.

Speedy Cable will also make other gauges in the "Ultima" style. I got an oil temp gauge and a clock made up by them. They look great.
