Title: Amp and Oil Pressure gauge bezels
Post by: bhoulis on July 24, 2018, 06:57:20 PM
Has anyone found a source for replacing the chrome bezels on the amp and oil pressure gauges? Are replacement bezels even available? I have my original gauges but the chrome is pretty ratty looking. Thanks. Brian

Sorry no easy button that I know of. One way is to buy another gauge with the correct bezel and switch it. Don't ask me witch ones because I go by sight and don't pay attention to MFG. Fortunately I have only had to do it a couple times in my life.

Thanks Bob. Sort of what I figured based on searching other forums and finding no sources. On the bright side, it gives another reason to go to swap meets. Brian

 phil@phidonrestorations.com restores these.
I was quoted a number for a redone or replaced chrome bezel (mine is also pitted), lens and painted pointer, which I won't mention here as it can change depending on what your gauges  need.

My gauges have a step in the bezel. The new SW gauges appear to have the bullnose, no step  chrome bezel. I think the repoped gauge panel uses the new SW gauges. The only difference I could spot in the re-released SW gauges, besides the bezel, are the small numbers at 12:00 o'clock.
There may other differences.
