That's the one thing that would improve the feel, a thicker wheel. I watched the video on the baseball stitch, looks awesome but didn't think I'd have the patience to get around the whole wheel. As it was I took two beer breaks, it was pretty warm in the garage lol.

Wasn't sure if that was allowed. I used size L0 Leather Steering Wheel Cover

Aplogies, got busy and forgot to reply Walt's Transmissions on Magnolia in Burbank. A good, fair mechanic who's used to working on older cars. Not sure about AC Tyerman's Auto on Magnolia I haven't used them for much but they have a lot classics in their bays. They do a bit of everything...

Ever since I bought my Barracuda the steering wheel cover on it bothered me but I knew it had to be covering up some cracks. I recently saw a post on FB 67-69 BOG about installing a leather steering wheel cover. I ordered one in black leather and did the install over the weekend. Sure enough...

Where in LA? I'm in Burbank and there are a couple good ones that work on classic on Magnolia and another on Alameda. PM me if you want details.

There is a gap between these trim rings and the gauges that lets the light in, the trim rings are solid. But they do have a mix of white/black paint, maybe the white is to help reflect more light.

Great idea. I have a friend with a race shop and was talking to him about it, he's offered to make one from the measurements with some 3" aluminum pipe but just got a bite on my wanted thread so may not be necessary. Thanks everyone for all the replies!

Replied, thanks!

Looking for one of these inner trims rings, hopefully without having to buy an entire cluster OR... if you've fabricated one please let me know what material you used. Thanks FABO Photos attached for reference

Appears removable but a little tricky. No screws, looks like the tabs slide over a plastic post which is then melted to form sort of a plastic weld. Probably easier to glue back on than get out without damaging it. I'll post an ad, thanks.

Pretty much, covers from the lens to about a 1/8-1/4" away from the gauge, enought of a gap to let some light in. Inner diameter would be about 3" and outer about 3 1/4" if I have to make one (but out of what??). Depth tbd but probably less than an inch

That's what I was originally thinking but now that it's out I can see it's not the tach, the face of the tach goes to the proper depth. There is a sort of inner trim ring for the cluster that's missing, I can see it on the other two gauges.

Very likey, I'm already thinking I won't find one and what can I use to fab something.

Ahhhhh, my Dad had a bunch of those. It looked more like a whachamacallit to me but I think you're right.

I took out my gauge cluster to replace the dash speaker as well as some work on the gauges and install new vent hoses. I also recently installed new dash bulbs and noticed I get a lot of light bleed from around the tach. Now that I have my gauges back out I see why, I'm missing this piece...
