Strange request... Tach and Speedo bezels needed

I'm looking for chrome bezels (120mm 74 and up TR6 I believe) for my tach and speedo.. new or used and in decent shape. My original bezels are getting chromed and I don't think they'll be back in time for a car show that I'd like to attend (NC Gathering). I don't need glass, just the bezel. If anyone can point me in a direction, I would owe them dearly.

Thanks much!!!

Shannon, I don't know how the '74 and up bezels compare to the earlier cars. I have a couple of Smiths tachs and speedos that I could "borrow" the bezels off of but I don't know if they're suitable for what you need. If you have any pictures please send them to me at
dklawson-at-mindspring-dot-com
I'll be happy to loan them to you if what I have is the right size.

I haven't been to The Gathering since they moved it to it's new location in Dobson. It's a bit further than I want to drive.

Doug,

Thanks but I managed to find a couple bezels to borrow last night. However, I appreciate the offer!

Too bad you won't be making the Gathering, what part of NC do you live in?

Hi Shannon,

I'm glad you found what you need. I have a few Smiths RVI and RVC tach that I can "borrow" parts off of.

I live on the west side of Durham near Chapel Hill. The last time I made it to The Gathering was two years ago when it was still at Reynolda House. We took both the Mini and the Triumph that year. However, driving the Mini for long distances at 65 MPH is no joy. It runs 4k (loud) RPM at that speed. By contrast the GT6 is a great highway car.

Enjoy the show!

Regards,
Doug
