70-72 lemans GTO dash bezel
Looking for a junk 70-72 dash bezel to repair the radio knob holes on my 71 GTO dash bezel. Hoping someone has a junk part with decent radio hole plastic so I can remove and JB plastic weld to my bezel that is otherwise in excellent shape. If you have one your willing to part with let me know and how much. Thanks

Thanks Scott, I'll check it out. Can you point to where your thread is on doing the fix? I couldn't find yours thru search.

Decades ago PY had a repair part for repairing 70-72 radio openings. IIRC the mold for that part had broken so that ended that parts life cycle.
Another option is to buy a '69 GTO radio bezel & use that as your donor. You'll have to be creative to cut & glue them together but it can be done. If you can't find a used one they do repo them. Ames has them part # A274R for $67.00. From Ames' website: Description 69 PLASTIC DASH INSERT SET W/WOODGRAIN Net Comments CHROME PLATED AND USING ORIGINAL CASTING TECHNIQUES, THESE INSERTS ARE A LIFE-SAVER FOR CUSTOMERS WHOSE INSERTS WERE CHOPPED FOR AFTER-PRODUCT RADIOS, 2-PIECES. QUALITY IS CONSIDERED EXCELLENT. WOODGRAIN INCLUDED. FOR LEMANS/TEMPEST, WOODGRAIN CAN BE LEFT OFF. HAS CORRECT RIBS FOR THSE CARS. WOODGRAIN FIT IS NOT PERFECT. TEST FIT FOR ALIGNMENT BEFORE FINAL INSTALLATION |
