<p>I've decided to do the work on these gauges myself. They are all in relatively good shape and work as expected. I have the o-rings that go between the dash and the gauges (very cheap from Moss, and in stock).</p>
<p>The concave side of the bezels contains a hard, shriveled-up ring of black goop (photo 1) - and all of them have shrunk away from the glass, so there's been no contact between the black stuff and the glass for a long time, i.e. the bezels have been in direct contact with the glass. Which begs whether the gaskets/rings are necessary or not. But I'll probably figure out something to put in there. It doesn't have to cover the entire circle, so if I can find o-rings that are close I can just cut to fit.</p>
<p>Also note the bezel paint scheme (photo 2) - black on the surface directly surrounding the gauge face and chrome on the outside surface - and I've seen this on a lot of TR6's, apparently done this way for a while. The painted surfaces are in good shape, I'll try just a gentle clean-up; and I'll see if I can carefully polish the chrome edge - staying away from the painted surface.</p>
