I'm looking for an original insturment bezel for my '69. I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd check. I was a bonehead and broke mine taking it out, I bought a repo, but it doesn't fit as good as the original.
Thanks,
Matt

Are you looking for the center gauge bezel? The repro ones I've seen are pretty good, but the problem tends to be that the original, being screwed into the dash has changed shape over the years from expansion and contraction. A new bezel would be in the proper original shape, not slightly deformed like the original became. A used one, even in good shape may not fit any better.

what gunslinger said is true about the shaping.. but if you need an "original 69" i have three of them and only plan to use one..
