Adrian,

I'm in the same situation as you. I went to a local glass shop (Apple Auto Glass) and they said they could cut a round peice of glass the proper diameter and thickness for me for cheap ($5 CAD).

The only problem was they wanted me to pry off the mounting ring and install it myself.

Seeing as I have Porsche gauges to install, I thought I would open up my old scratched VW speedo and try to make it look factory when done. I pried up the edges of the aluminum mounting band/trim band half way around with a very small flathead screwdriver. the band then slid off, I replaced the glass and then put it back togeather.

Well, guess what... From the front it looks OK, but from the rear it looks butchered.

Oh well.

Sandeep
