Bezel for petrol gauge. - Mick Hobday - 07-09-2018
My chrome platers have lost the bezel from my petrol gauge. It's the standard Lucas gauge with 56mm dia bezel from my late '32 Tourer. I think the same gauge was used until 1939. Does anyone have a spare please? Or maybe a scrap gauge with a sound bezel? Condition of brass/chrome unimportant.
Thank you.

There is slight deterioration of the chrome under the dirt and a tiny ripple on the edge of the bezel, but I am sure it would flatten easily. Give me an email address and I will send you a picture; I don't know to do it here (what's a URL? I've got the picture on a memory card). I am lordshipvilla@hotmail.co.uk
Thank you.

Why not just get a new one? See BG168b here.

Thank you to all those who replied. I never thought to look for a new one, I assumed they were no longer produced! I'm still living in the 1970s when all stuff like that was used and plentiful.
I am now fixed up, thank you very much.
