Default Inst Bezel Rebuild?

My 74 is getting rewired and a few other problems fixed. I'm sending out my mech tach to be rebuilt for elect tach and HEI ign. On the back side of the inst cluster many of the plastic fitting ect are broken and missing. I checked Mid Am and all they sell is the bezel face plate. I need the blue plastic pieces that join the speedo/tach to the bezel.
What are my options? Should I try to get a used and fix that or does someone repair this? TIA

Rick

I used to look for parts on Ebay, and at that time there frequently seemed to be complete tach/"blue plastic"/bezels assemblies for sale.
Try the Corvette salvage places?

Yeah, I had the same problem a few months ago. I only needed one, fortunately. In order to get it, I bid on a POS broken speedo on ebay that had the whole assembly. Of course, I checked in advance to make sure the piece I was after was in good shape.
