they all open the same way... twsit to line up the crimp over of the 
chrome trim ring to the body cut outs. The problem is the old o-rings 
dry out and basically glue them in place.
Replacement o-rings are avail for hte glasss to body and rinf to glass 
interfaces  (as well as gauges to dashboard. ) cleaning them up is not 
had,just take your time.

I swapped a bezel on a small smiths oil gauge.  I used the same technique
as the larger gauges

I cleaned up the gauges on my TR250 myself.  I believe the small gauges
come apart the same way as the big ones.  Loosen some tabs and twist so the
tabs line up with the slots to pull it off.  Clean glass as you would clean
glass.  Gauge faces and dials.  Gentle is the word, wipe  with a damp, soft
cloth.  There will probably be crud inside, and the interior paint may be
flaking, repaint with white paint.

The bezels, mine were painted black, so I repainted them black satin.
Looks like yours are chrome, would give the a vigorous polish and see how
they turn out.

A completely refinished gauge face is way beyond my skillet, but I read up
on a guy who DIYed it and fixed his gauges at home.  I will tackle a lot,
but really can't imagine doing that and having it turn out well.

Sorry, not a very good pic, but all zi could find.

Wow, Bob, no matter what, those gauges are gorgeous. Thanks for the 
reference, and for the info on calibration.

He=92ll quote you a price based on what you need done and then he=92ll conf=
irm the price once he gets the gauges.

He converted my tach to electronic and my speedometer to GPS. Then he had h=
is =93artist=94 repaint my dash faces in Magnolia. Beautiful work and craft=
smanship.

If your speedo need calibration he=92ll ask you to do this before sending t=
hem out http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/SpeedometerCalibration.htm

Note that a small wad of wet aluminum foil is just about *perfect* for
cleaning chrome plating to a high, scratch-free shine.  It's quite
remarkable how well it works if the plating itself is intact.  Try that on
your gauge bezels, Lee, and let us know how they look.

I recall that there is one type of o-ring for the glass and another between
the instrument and the dash.

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).

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.

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.

Don - your aluminum foil trick works great! Here's a before and after on 
the first one I tried - beautiful.
