bezel measurements - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

XXL · 08-21-2002, 08:25 PM

Anyone got a spare instrument bezel laying around? A cracked up, beat up one would be great. I just need to take some measurements off of it so I can CAD out an aluminum bezel for my dash. Or, if anyone has already measured out the bezel, that would be even better

I'm really only concerned with the outer edges and the corner radii as I'll be using different gauges than the stock ones.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Kenneth

Thanks all! Hold off on shipping anything just yet as I may have a solution already. I'll get back to you if it doesn't pan out.

Thanks again,

Kenneth

XXL, I saw your plans for your dash, looks good! I did something similar, but my Billet runs one piece across the entire dash. I didn't like the indention where the radio was, so I used one piece billet all the way across.
I just used the left side of the bezel for a trace pattern and right side of bezel on other end for right side trace. Then connect the lines and cut away. I plan on using Auto meter gauges, but haven't got that far yet. I just have the billet cut and polished.

They are still in the camera, project been slow since I started by business. I will get back on it soon I hope. Maybe I will just burn the rest of the roll and go develop them. I have lot's of pics to post once I develop that roll, like finished drip rails, dash, shortened steerin column ect. I promise I will share when I get em.
