That sucks about the chrome trim ring. Can you "adjust" or maybe "massage" it at all to fit? It actually looks very similar to an aftermarket trim ring I got for my tib...
After looking at yours and mine, I can see the problem. Its probably the plastic surround that wont line up. IMO, since this is a conversion anyway, either get a another plastic shift surround or use yours, remove the chrome from the OE F2 surround and install the chrome ring on yours that fits.

May be cheaper to import the real deal!
I just got done restoring my headlamps. I plan to coat them using the 50/50 Helmsman Spar finish and mineral spirits method.

I've got the glass lens. I'll sell them to ya for cheaper. I just got my hands on a second set over here. Shoot me a price and I'll send them from Poland. They look like they just came out of the assembly man no matter how old or how long in the sun. They need a good owner
For the shift surround, just sand it down to fit. Use fiberglass jelly if necessary. I sprayed mine with Painter's Touch (color near identical). My RD2 surround with RD1 console.
I was supposed to fly to the States a second time but I got sick so I couldn't grab the gaiters/armrest lid.

Here's the ring. It has a different curve radius on every corner.

Great I'll get them ready tonight bro. PM me a price.
Aw no kidding. No way to bend the ring somehow? There's got to be a solution. Either that or send it somewhere and have it copied the right way.

Wish there was more interest in this stuff or I'd be very excited about doing it.
My wheels are scheduled to be here Friday! But, that means I'll need to buy a whole new set of tires. Kind of ran out of spending money this month with all these "little" purchases.
