    Thanks for this info. I've been wanting to take the rings off to paint them something other than the dreaded silver... :Thumbsup:

    The vent rings should come off with a 1/4 or 1/2 turn ccw. The tach and speedo have tabs that release the rings from the backside.

    Shouldn't need tape if you took them off correctly. You didn't disassemble you dash at all to get them off.... did you?
