Default 69 Instrument Bezel

Will a 68 small instrument bezel fit a 69? I know that the 68 has a smooth finish and the 69 is textured ( I can fix that) but besides that is there any difference? I ordered a so called new one off of ebay and got a new 68 instead. I don't need the hassle of returning it and waiting for my money if it will fit. Another satisfied ebay customer . Thanks

68 and 69 instrument bezels are the same size. I actually use a 69 bezel in my 68. The 68 bezel costs 5 times more :eek: :eek:

:cheers:

P.S. The only difference that I know of (exept the finish) is that early 68' didn't have the seat belt warning override button!

Yeah really... Sell it on Ebay as the Proper 68 bezel and get your self a 69 and spend the extra on something else!!! Other than that they should be the same size.
