WTB 1968 door lock bezel
The outside door lock bezel on my 1968 Vette came loose. I see one of the tabs is broken and the bezel will not stay in place securely. Does anybody have this bezel for sale at a realistic price? Thanks!

i found one at ecklers corvette last year,,forget how much,maybe 40.00 dollars.hard to find.
|
they stopped reproducing these a few years back. Can't figure out why.
FYI, sound nuts but mine did the same thing..I glued it back on. |
Yes, I heard Eckler's had them at one time. Thanks for your feedback.
|
Thanks AvalonJohn for the feedback. What glue did you use to re attach the bezel?

Hi Larry / If I recall I used jb weld but I am sure others may have another favorite. It's been about four years and it has not come off. I heard the repros were notorious for coming off.

I "MIGHT" have an extra around here somewhere - I will check. BK3

Just curious - how can you tell an OE original from a repop??? :cheers: |
Thanks for the additional info, John.
|
thanks for looking BK3. I don't know anything (good or bad) about the repro bezels.

I was able to re-attach the bezel that fell off my Vette. I used clear silicone to attach it and it did the trick. However, I am still looking for a bezel just in case. :D I do appreciate your help. Larry |

I think this is what the OP was referring to. Unfortunately every site I visit shows it being discontinued. I don't think any other part will work. Sucks.

I would try to fabricate a duplicate tab out of SS and try to solder or glue it to the back.
You should be able to polish it up after soldering. |
