I wish I had seen this earlier - I've been looking for these as well, however all he has left now are chrome rather than the aluminum finish.

I have a set to install. Wondering if anyone has had any issues with them coming loose after you installed?

Did you out the tape in the actual gauge cluster or in the rings and if in the rings was it one side or the other or just in the middle?

Thanks

I had the same question. I searched several forums and found that some people had problems with tape. The most often recommended product was silicone adhesive sealant:

Sealants : Permatex® Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant

The advantage is that if you drip it on something, it cleans up with alcohol and won't permanently damage the plastic gauge face. I used it and I have been pleased with the results. That's not to say something else won't work as well.
