Dashboard Gauge Bezels - can anyone help pls?

[Sneds]

Nearly all the gauges on my dash have at some time fallen through the hole into the abys that lies beneath the dashboard!

Anyone know where I can het hold of some replacement besels, preferably metal as the plastic ones I have are all britle and broken.

Have tried Halfords and the local "Pimp my Ride" shop with no sucess!

What sort of instruments,

Hi Sneddon,
What sort of instrument bezels do you need? Are they the chrome rings that go with the EVC instruments? If so I may have a couple of new one lying around.

 

[Sneds]

They are the "bayonet" type on VP/VDO gauges circa 2001

Have thought of a total dash re-build, but that works out a bit pricey!

Last time I was in the UK (5 years ago) I got some from a guy at a boat jumble for my oceanline VDO 50 mm gauges.

The latest set in either chrome or black from VP will fit your ancillary guages. The big tachos need to use the original black bezels from 2001. cost about £12 ea

Not at all, an off cut of ply or better clear plastic, lightly sand the back and paint to match the boat decor.

Pop the bits in and your away.

Thanks to all for the input, off to my VP dealer tomorrow to see what he sugests.

I would like to change the dash but is is not flat, it is a convex "bent" piece of mock carbon fibre.

have you contacted mustang? When I had gauge problems I contacted sea ray and they sorted me out ok.

Cheers

Sneds,

Here is a picture of my re-made dash with the KAD series VDO instruments housed in the later D series collars. The only ones you cant get from VP are for the Tachos as the later D series tachos are bigger in diameter than the KAD series.

Also available in chrome, but since I could only get black for the tachos i opted for black on the others too.
