Alright so I've done the typical Hamb and google searches and have come up dry so it's making a new post time. Hopefully the ***le isnt to misleading, what I'm looking for is a place to buy the little bezel I see people using in 42-48 fords when using smaller guages in the stock dash openings. I've seen them used only in the vintique chrome dash parts do I'd ***ume that they possibly make them but they don't even have a functioning web site I'd ***ume that they look like an ashtray in the catalog, with the trim ring/bezel and then the opening filled with a shiny flat piece that you cut out for your new guage. I'm running as close to a 5 inch guage as I could find/ afford so I'll most likely only need the bezel part but I'm having a heck of a time finding a spot to buy them. I was at KKOA in salina this weekend and saw a good dozen o them on cars but never could find owners to pick there brains. You guys have any links or info? Hopefully I'm not being Accidently vauge haha
this is what I did with mine http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4878804&postcount=30 I have seen an adapter that leaves the gauge faces round as well, but then the trim on the left side does not match the trim on the right side. (I know, picky...)
I'll try cl***ic in a few minutes mike thanks for the idea. Millers garage I guess I should have clarified I'm talking about the two 5 inch round ones not the little ones off to the side.
like this ? http://www.egaugesplus.com/42-48-ford-auto.html the third one down describes it, but has not photo. I am sure it is the one in the photos above it.
Yeah those look like what I'd need but they don't look like what I've seen. Maybe the smaller guage diameter option in your second link would. What I've seen looks like the bezel off the stock guage with a flat chrome piece filling the hole with a hole in that for the new gauge. Or they could just do something cool like when a gauge is NOT 5 inches wide don't advertise them as 5 inches wide! Thanx for the help guys
