Those are good pieces. Considering your only other option, nowadays would be to strip and re-chrome your old bezel. That can take 6 months up to a year to get back. Then it needs painted. The outside color; to match the interior color of your car plus the tunnels on a 67 are a flat dark jade green. You will have to make cardboard templates to cover the chrome. Never ever use use masking tape on a freshly re-chromed bezel!!!

On the new reproduction bezels the chrome is nice and shiny the plastic is brand new. There is one tiny issue with the new bezel for 1967 Lemans or GTO which is not a big problem to cure.

One of the mounting posts on the back is molded in error 1/8" too short.

It is the top row post, one of the ones that hold the main housing. Reading from left to right it's the one right in-between the 1st and 2nd circle openings. I shim it up using a couple of small washers. On that one post you then need a slightly longer screw, but make sure it's the same diameter and thread pitch as all the rest of the screws on the back. Those gauge mounting screws are a certain size and they are very thin.

I would NOT use an oversize or a regular machine screw in there or you run the risk of cracking or splitting the post.
