[QUOTE="red69, post: 154329, member: 9052"] The S90 speedo has two trim rings. One is the usual crimped on piece covering the face and the other is located adjacent to it with a rubber gasket. Mine looks kind of crappy, with surface corrosion. [ATTACH]30599.vB[/ATTACH] This ring is chrome plated. I placed it in Evaporust for a period of time and then sanded the pitting down with 320 grit paper. I have some vinyl trim sheet chrome that is used on model aircraft and I wanted to see how this would work on the trim ring. It has adhesive on the back side. See: [url]http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHX87&P=7[/url] I cut two strips and applied them one at a time over the ring, with an overlap, trimmed with a new Xacto knife. [ATTACH]30598.vB[/ATTACH] My purpose was to make the ring presentable without having to have it re-chromed. I think I did that. [/QUOTE]
