They are turned aluminium with a profile to match dial bezels.They have been made to locate inside of hole around buttons so as to sit central and have been secured with a small dab of clear mastic so as easily removed if did not like.The light bezels are made similar and fixed in same way sitting over original black ones.Quality and fit is very good.Have tried close ups but detail not really clear with my camera.Have made these in spare time at work (engineer in paper mill)so as far as cost to make it was time rather than £££££.Would concider making some more(button surounds (6 off)and light bezels(4 off)if anyone interested but am limited to time i can spend doing homework in works time as you can appreciate.As for cost............well this is not about making money just sharing an idea.What do you think they are worth?

Hi Simon, interested in both sets really. Wouldnt like to put a price on em and do appreciate its your work time....I`m a waste of space with such things as I am with diy at home (as my gf always points out to me!)
So....name your price, sir! Mail me thru my profile if you prefer but they seem a good bunch on here! And extremely helpful if you hit a problem or two.....!
I`ll be away for a few days so dont be surprised if you don`t hear from me before Friday.

Not sure but I would imagine the clocks on a chim would be the same diameter as the griff. I have just measured mine and the small clocks are 65 mm across and the Rev and speedo are 105 mm across. (both outside measurements) There are only four small clocks on the Chim.

Many thanks,

Steve.

They look super. I already have some dial rings on mine but am very interested in the switch/button rings. Can you give an indication of the price for the just the switch/button rings? Have you also made the vent surrounds or are they Leven ones?

Thanks in advance
