Gauge bezel replacement - any thoughts?

[AJC77]

Hi All,

Well, the bezel on my oil pressure gauge decided to come out in sympathy with the chassis :-) and oxidise.

I thought I'd found a replacement from Smiths Gauges specialist Holden Vintage & Classic so I ordered:

1 x 070.145 = 52mm half vee gauge rim in black @ £5.70
1 x 070.040 = o ring for 52mm gauge rim @ £0.70

Just had a quick offer up (pictured below) and I have to say it looks a touch small :-/ say 1 or 2mm.

Anybody had experience (success) with replacements using new bezels?

No, just mask off the glass, clean up and spray with satin black

I have not used replacement bezels from that supplier, but I had the same problem, The gauge bezels are just 1-2mm too small, so I had to grind off the "lip" of the TVR gauges so they could fit. was quite easy to do.
