Just FYI
I happened upon this thread from 11 years ago where even then people were JB welding new tabs onto their bezels because they were so hard to find And 13 years ago people were already talking about getting a new batch manufactured packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=89009 So I imagine you will sell quite a few of these 😀

Very interesting. Fred of Max Merritt just ordered 10 pieces as well and he's shipping the nos sample (hopefully next week).
I'll update this thread as soon as I get it. -Crin

Crin what are you going to do about the tiny plastic piece that comes with the bezel? Can't remember if it is easily removed.
I'm sure no one would care if a new one is not included with the repros, but the light is supposed to shine thru there so having it as part of the casting would not be the most ideal. To be honest I have NO clue why such a piece was even included in the first place...

The NOS ones did not come with it either but the original from the existing bezel should be easy to install. The piece is just flat translucent plastic and there is a little bit of bent wire behind it holding it into its slot.

The new bezel arrived in the mail this afternoon. Looks fine and it fits the spare switch Randy had. Now I can be sure that the one currently on Caribbean will not be a problem as I have a spare. Good job White Glove Collection
