You must have a Rivett 608 and not care about a profit.  Clamping rings which
are a proper force fit on the hubs of the wormgear of a VDO odometer can be
cut from the miniature brass tubing found in most hobby shops.  If memory
serves me right, 1/4" X 0.031 is the size which works, but check the sizing
first.
