Does anyone know where, or if, replacement bezels can be bought?

Or is there an alternative that's similar that can be used? (if I replace the lot?)

Agree after looking at the above they are not listed, have you called to ask because I'm pretty sure they did list them, so might be able to help.

I bought a full set of replacement bezels for the 3000m from these, nice service and easy DIY job.

Excellent find, were the gauges in your 3000m the caerbont type?

Is there anyway of knowing if these would work on those?

Chrome would look good though.

For anyone looking at this, and to answer my own question above, I found this;

http://www.greengauges.com/greengauges.pdf

And as written, CAI was originally Smiths, which relates to the Europa link.

Edited to add, Greengauges and CAI are in the same town in Swansea, AberCrave, though slightly different postcodes.

Yep, Greengauges are CAI.

CAI are quoting £90 + vat + carriage

This is to replace both speedo and tachometer, and all 4 smaller gauges, which I don't think is to bad at all.
The only down side is not being able to use my car while they're away.

I wonder if the Europa DIY ones are going to fit..............................

I'm not sure of the gauge type but here are some 'before' and 'during' photographs after I'd cleaned the glass, carefully cleaned the face, and had the backs zinc plated. I'll have to dig out the gauges for a picture of them fully assembled, but they do look much smarter than they did before

From what I can gather, the bezels you have there have tabs on and (I think) clip on, the Caerbont gauges have the brushed aluminium type, and officially, need a specific press to 'clamp' the bezel around the gauge, though some have managed fitting with a wooden former.


The zinc coating looks to have worked a treat on yours.

Sorry, I thought I had replied to your offer.
I have got a voltmeter that also needs a new bezel so may experiment with that. I bought it for my chimaera but it has magnolia dial rather than white so was just going to sell it on.

I'm still undecided how to progress, its a shame they aren't the same type as Surveyors.
