Does anyone know what these are for, and if all type 3s should have em? I'm talking about the inch or so wide plastic ring around the housing of the gauges. I assume they are spacers so the gauges sit right when you have a dash pad. My 67 squareback doesn't have them, but my 64 notchback does. Neither car has a dash pad.
I beleive these plastic rings are to hold the gauges tight to the dashpad when the clips on the back side are engaged. Without these the gauges will slip through the dash. I had this problem when installing a vdo tach. in the clock hole, just added a plastic ring and it stayed put.
Matt.
