Terry, my local expert says "don't do that if you like your paint or 
your cover".
Something will stretch or loosen and end up fretting the cover on the paint.
I think you could use pallet wrap though.

Do it progressively only about 50-% of the way around and the bezel, glass and gasket will slide off. This can only be done once or twice before the chromed brass edges work-harden and crack, so examine carefully for evidence its been worked on before. If there is something loose-like broken glass from a previously busted bulb, you might be able to shake it out of the bulb sockets, but I doubt if that whas causing the noise. Note that most speedo shops have spare bezels around. I've used both Palo Alto Speedo for gauge repairs, not just for speedo repair, and N Hollywood for a speed reducer for a regeared Pantera with big tires. Both are excellent shops if a little slow. Good luck- JD
