Default HUD bezel Help needed

Hey guys I put a HUD in my car and cant find a bezel and have this huge butt ugly hole in my dash.
So I need a Bezel. I had ordered one but now they say its
back ordered and who know when/if it will ever show up.
If you have one Id buy it or
Can anyone measure the one they have or even trace it out
and I can try and get one of my tinsmith buddies to make me
something..
Id appreciate some sizes. Outside size,inside hole size. how far from the edges the hole is,that kind of stuff..
Thanks

I would recommend you wait for a new one if you can. The problem with a used bezel is it has been exposed to lots of sunlight and this makes them very brittle. I tried transferring one from one dash pad to another and after I got it off noticed it had a small crack. I used some epoxy on it to keep it from cracking further. Within a few weeks it had multiple cracks in it. Needless to say I had to replace it.

Thanks to Gene Culley I didn't have to wait too long at that time, but better to wait a while for a new one than to have to remove the dash again and redo it all over.

Good luck... GUSTO

Default Hub bezel measurement.. Please

Can someone PLEASE measure their Hud bezel for me.. The over all size,
the size of the opening and the distance from the edges to the center
hole.. Id really appreciate it.. I cant find one, Nothing on ebay, the dealer says sorry but back ordered and who know if it would even show up.. I will get the guys at work in the tin shop to make me something and paint it back. It will look better then the big hole in the dash..

Thanks
