I have used zip ties too. They’re really good.!
You can shape them perfectly, cut them to length perfectly, reduce them with wet and dry, and then polish them until they absolutely fit snug.
Forgive me but how do you join the ends? Melt em?

I reduced the diameter of a seconds hand today

Of course I trashed the first one...
Then I put a copper wire in the hole and managed to do it.

Now the copper wire is a bit too flexible and it makes insertion awkward. Any tips?

Officially have kicked off the 31mm dials and have improved previous dials in many ways. Try and spot them! These fit the Pagani like a glove!

These look great man. My eye isn't keen enough to see the standout differences apart from that size difference haha. You've gotta help me out!

The gilt text on the 31mm is slightly thinner which is closer to gen. I have left the scale of everything the same. For the next 29mm (when I have time), I'm going to adjust the scale a bit to match the gen better.

Pics please. Not clear what you're doing with the copper wire.
