Hi

I'm looking for three chrome dashboard rings for a walnut dashboard's Speedo, Fuel Guage and Rev Counter - as seen on the Sportspack models.

Can't seem to find them for sale anywhere! Anybody know of an online shop which sells them?

Thanks, Rhys

I've never seen them for sale an I've had my eyes open since I got my sportspack about 15 months go. I think the best you could do is get hold of set of used ones and spray them using some chrome paint, or if your looking to replace then to refurb your old ones.

I used to see a lot of them at shows, I have a set sitting in my garage waiting to go on my dash. Think they were only about £5!

You can't get ones to fit a standard MPI dash on ebay. The ones on ebay are round, but the bezels on the MPI dash are elliptical because the colcks are angles towards the driver. I think they're about £30 too :)

I've seen them being sold with a Walnut Dash package but not individually, which is really annoying, as there's clearly a demand for them!

Saying that I've just found these on eBay, not sure if they'll fit though. :s

Somerford Minis sell them, I only paid £5 for them about 6 months ago.

those ones from someford wont fit the mpi dash, they're literally a chrome ring about 3mm thick, i think theyre designed to fit onto the older style 3 clock pods rather than a dashboard.

They do fit. I have put them on my sons MPI dash and they are exactly the same as the ones that came off.

If you look at his project you will see a photo of the dash.
