My next little project is one I've been meaning to do for a while but kept deliberating whether to cheat or do it properly

Well I've decided to cheat as I don't have the balls or the engineering skill to do it properly

Inspired by Cain's 'stick on' warning light bezels and also because I saw FellMogs Andrew's Plus 8 with VDO instruments having these very same Smiths bezels on last weekend which looked great.

Old VDO instruments bezels are not like Smiths in that they are not easily removed or replaced -it's quite a tricky job so I decided to stick some Smiths ones on over the top with silicone

Bought a set off EBay and removed the tabs with some snips and polished off any resultant burr with my WorkSmart sharpener
