TA guage bezel? Where can i get one and how much does a Trans Am bezel cost. I called the Pontiac dealer and told him i need the bezel and he told me he had no clue what i was talking about.
Thanks

Re: TA guage bezel? i got mine off ebay for $30
problem with em is, that on the camaro gauges they have those "nipples" to stop the gauges from falling all the way down
and on the firebird gauges they are on the bezel, not on the gauge face
i put mine on before i realized that, and it didnt fit
im guessing i have to cut those nipples off the camaro gauge face then, right?
also how the hell do you remove the guage cluster out of the dash?
i just had to squeeze the TA bezel in there and snap it on, while the guages were still in the dash

Re: TA guage bezel? I believe the little pins pull out, I'm not too sure
To remove the cluster just losen the unit and have someone pull the steering wheel down and squeeze it out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

and while i was trying to squeeze the gauges out, i did hold the wheel all the way down while squeezing them out, but since it was so tight i decided not to pull them all the way
i figures i might crack the circuit board behind it
but ill try that stuff this weekend, gotta start putting all these parts i got piled up on sooner or later

Re: TA guage bezel? oh yeah
i know how to remove it
im just not comfortable with doing it that way
im really cautious about stuff involving expensive electronics
plus, its easier just to snap it in there, while the gauge cluster is still attached to the dash, to me at least

Re: TA guage bezel? Mine was a simple swapo changeo, it came with the new plastic shield and everything and I had mine in and out in 30minutes.
I again highly recommend paying $5-10 more and getting one from MacEwen... His stuff fits and he really was great to me in the emails.
