what did you use to shave down the gauge circles, to get the smaller rings to fit?

I used sandpaper and an exacto knife. Wouldn't want to do again. I also had a problem with the small rings where it wouldn't fit nest to the side away from the bigger rings where I had to take a little off it's hard to explain. To do that I used my butane soldering gun and melted it a little ways back then they fit in perfectly.

Exacto knife and sandpaper?!?!? No wonder why you don't want to do this again.

Next time, use a Dremel. 5-10 minutes...
