Default Does anyone remember these? They found a good home.

I got these in 2009 or 2010 from someone who at the time posted Rennlist forums , I believe he may have also had a 993,I’m not sure.

They are made of machined aluminum and fit perfectly, and I’ve had them on my gauges since I purchased them, but I recently went through a phase of restoring many things to stock.

I have no memory of what the seller charged for them but I know everyone and their brother was buying them at the time so I’d like to find them a new home and if there’s interest someone can PM me or I’ll create a classified thread.

*** update: SOLD






Thanks

actually there was a rennlister holger that made the trim rings before Chris by a few years. After Holger stopped making them, Chris made a run at them.

The control arm bushings are a walrod original.. and terrific quality as well

Default Holger 2?

I think you may find that Brice in Hong Kong has resurrected the original Holger rings that many of us had before Chris made his even thinner versions.

No, these cover the existing bezels, making them larger and bulkier. The ones above insert inside of the existing bezels.

Copy, gotcha!, It is difficult to see on a phone, looking at it on a full size computer, i can see that.

The thin inserts (Holger & Walrod style) are much nicer IMHO.

I remember getting a set of these for free from a member here. He posted them for sale and I inquired first. I think he said something like Merry Christmas and sent them to me for free! Unfortunately cannot remember his name!

I have a few sets someplace. I didn't want shiny so I sanded down the inside of the aluminum bezel to give it a brushed look. I also like that it doesn't obstruct the gauge as much.

I left the outer portion it's original black and have the brushed look on the inside. I could high polish them as well but more work.


Initial sanding I later went back and cleaned them up.
