Small chrome bezel on 68 door button
Hi,
I'm working on a 68 427 convertible. The car is a macthing numbers car, very rust free, but very abused in the overall condition. Among many, many, many small things, on the driver side door push button the small chrome ring bezel is missing. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong places - but is this part difficult to find? Anybody that can point me somewhere?
Thanks,
Martin

Nope. Not to my knowledge. You might try eBay or join the NCRS and post your free ad.
I haven't seen one offered for sale in a long, long, long time.
Good luck with the hunt.

I got 2 locks (no keys) and I think they both have the bezel.

A good locksmith can re-key those for you, I had a spare set I gave to a local independent locksmith to re-key only to have him take them with him when he moved to N.C.
I've got another set that I can't find right now too.

Thanx Rick,
These are my old ones as I replaced them with a set with a matched ignition.

Insane? Yes for the rest of the world. No to a '68 owner who needs a pair.
