Re: tr3 2" gauge bezel
Yes, I think they are the same, at least from what I've experienced, however, I do think I remember reading of two different types. I probably have a few in the basement. Let me check later and I'll post back if you haven't come up with anything by then.

Re: tr3 2" gauge bezel
Are you talking about the glass itself, or the chrome ring around it?
I believe the glass interchanges between the 4 gauges, but the chrome ring for the ammeter is definitely different. For the ammeter, it's actually part of the gauge housing rather than being just a removable ring. To disassemble, you bend the tabs at the back and pull the movement out of the back of the case.

Re: tr3 2" gauge bezel
So after looking a little closer the ammeter is Lucas and all of the other instruments are Jaeger. The bezel is different on the ammeter and I had planned to replace it to the correct, but now wonder if it was changed and the bezel on the Lucas gauge was a little different. If so I guess I'll just keep it that way. I'm about to tackle new interior including the dash and I just thought I might as well get the correct bezel.

Re: tr3 2" gauge bezel
As far as the obviously (I hope!) non-original temperature gauge, well, I have a thing for gauges that work.
If you have a better example, then by all means, let's see it!
Uh, no, just the only photo I had handy that had both an original ammeter and 2 out of 3 other original gauges.prb51 said:

Re: tr3 2" gauge bezel
You might try these guys. When I bought my car it had the incorrect Tach in it and I was able to get the correct Tach thru them. You could email them, they may have the correct ammeter.

Here is a shot of someone else's car (sorry, I forgot to record whose, please let me know if you recognize the photo), showing very nicely restored gauges in a later (post-60K) panel:

Yes, the ammeter was made by Lucas. The photo I posted above shows original, unrestored, ammeter, oil pressure and fuel gauges.ekamm said:
