Instrument bezel

#1 Post by Almac » Sat Feb 20, 2021 9:31 am

The inside glass on my instruments are a bit grimy and I was wanting to give them a clean.

Does anyone know how the bezels are removed?

Thanks.

I use a paint tin opener. Go around the edges and carefully pry out the sides. Go back and forth on them. Bit by bit. And you only need to do a little over half of it. It will slide up and off then. Clean up and refit and I press the edges back with a 1/4 inch long extension.
Done lots like this and they look great.


Just did this complete set this week. Lc350 clocks, but the same bezel idea.

Managed it. Only opened the rev counter as this was really dirty on the inside, clocks were ok.

Was a tricky job, just used a small flat screwdriver but got there in the end.

Thanks again for the info 👍.
