    unfortunately there is very little room to work with in that area so the tolerances are a tight. on my first one, i had to shave the bezel a bit to get the knob to rotate freely. I had to make the overlay a bit thinner to compensate. the thickness is .7mm +/-.01. the knurls added another .1mm. Making them by hand was a pain but so worth it.

    I love this! Thanks RetroModern/Ken!
    With a dremel and a sanding drum, it took maybe 5 minutes. All installed and happy

    I don't have a dremel anymore, I ended up using some drywall sandpaper to take most of the content off (by hand) and then some super fine grit jewelry sandpaper to finish it.

    Got mine yesterday (with HVAC knobs and lighter plug), they look great. Hope to get time this weekend to install.
