Hi guys

I am looking for a source for a replacement  bezel for the speedo.  From what I understand in the posts here, the bezel from this source is not quite the right size:

I understand the glass here is correct but he is no bezels:

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to source one?

I am looking at getting some decals made for my speedo face and the odometer. Just awaiting pricing.

Darrel Is your old one rusted away? I bead blasted my old one then straightened it out, painted it and crimped it back in place

Hi Don

Unfortunately there was no bezel or glass with the speedo or the instrument cluster when I  got the vehicle. I managed to pick up a bezel and glass for the cluster in The Netherlands when I was over there but am still looking to complete the speedo.

Reading further through these gauge threads i see that the one on Ebay will fit but  I will need to glue it as they are apparently too hard to crimp.

Thanks

Anyone know where I can get the proper shade of grey paint for the speedo?

Thanks

Chuck if you have some color still on your face then you can take it to a paint store and they can computer match it. I kind of did mine by eye but use a vey fine metallic silver.

I got a response when I did another post instead of hijacking this one. Krylon Matte Alluminum with clear coat after decal application.
