Re: Cluster Bezel

There are two styles of that panel. One by Dolphin Instruments (http://www.dolphingauges.com) looks like the top picture. No Limit (http://www.nolimit.net) has the bottom panel which is a bit different but they also make a matching glove box door. Billet Barge here we come!

Re: Cluster Bezel

I just finished installing the NoLimit cluster. For the money, it is really nice quality but not for the faint of heart. The gauges are not configured the same as a stock cluster so you have to cut out parts of the dash to install it. If you ever want to go back to stock, you're out of luck but if you want a nice quality piece, it is the nicest aluminum cluster out there IMHO.

Did you get any pics? Also, did you use your old gauge faces or use aftermarket?

Re: Cluster Bezel

Stock gauges won't work... You can buy the bezel from NoLimit separately or complete with Autometer gauges (3 styles to choose from). I bought the complete kit because the price on the gauge kit was very reasonable (probably cheaper than you could buy them separately). Either way, it is designed to work with aftermarket gauges.

Sorry, I don't have any pics right now. It looks exactly like the one in the blue truck... If you need some I could try to snap a few next week.

Re: Cluster Bezel

I think the No Limit bezel is better quality but the brothers bezel requires no cutting and if your going to paint it then the Brothers may be the choice.Any way happy hunting and after looking at the picture of the blue c10 I may rethink my options because that looks great.

Re: Cluster Bezel

It's too bad No Limit just makes that panel with the ball end mill lines instead of just smooth. That's what I'd love to have.

that is ideally what I want too, because I am going to end up painting it in the long run...

Re: Cluster Bezel

Here are some pictures of the NoLimit cluster. I have to say, it is very nice quality but it will have taken me quite a bit of time to get it to fit the way I want. First, because the gauges fit so "snug" behind the cluster, the convex shape of the gauge bezel was preventing it from fitting flush against the back of the hole. I had to carefully (and I mean carefully) grind of the back edge of each hole with a die grinder to create a bevel and open it up to allow the gauge to site in the hole. Also, to install the unit, you have to cut away most of the top edge of the dash opening to the point where there isn't much left to mount to. This really isn't an issue as far as securing the cluster because it is solid aluminum but I am going to fabricate a piece of flat bar to mount across the top so that it snugs it up to the dash a little better. Keep in mind, I have been told by friends that I am anal about this stuff so what I deem to be a poor fit might be perfect for most everyone else.

Some advice, be careful with the finish... It came perfect from the Vendor but, because it is a mirror finish, it scratches very easily. Basically, if you look at it the wrong way, it will scratch. I put a coat of Zoops Seal on it so it is better protected now but still touchy. Also, if I did it again, I would fit it into the dash before installing the gauges... You quickly run out of room behind the cluster when all the gauges are in.

My truck has been on the road for almost 2 years with a "stock" style interior... I was waiting for my buddy the "custom interior guy" to free up some time in his schedule to do my truck. I already had the black column in the truck and thought about swapping it but decided against it. There are a few other black "accents" like the door rubbers, some knobs, the stereo face, etc. so I decided to leave it and see how it looked. I do, however, have a Billet Specialties steering wheel going in. It is the Street Star wheel that matches my road wheels and we are going to wrap it with the same leather as the interior.

As I said before, if you are doing a custom interior, don't mind a bit of work to install it and want a high-quality bezel, I would recommend this one. I have been swearing at it a bit through the install process but I'm sure I will be happy with the end result.
