YetAnotherDeveloper Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 i have a 72 240z and i would like a "new" radio/heater bezel. I have looked around i cant find anyone selling a new-ish one. anyone know where to get one that is not all beat up, most of the ones i see on ebay etc are in poor shape. BTW i did try to search for this but i didnt find anything; i'm sure its been covered over and over again but i guess i just missed it. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Used is the only source that I'm aware of. On a rare occasion someone puts a NOS or refurbished up on eBay. It occurred to me to have some reproduced but the initial cost would be high and I don't know how many out here woyld actually pay $$ for a reproduced part. A friend of mine had his plastic interior pieces repaired/rechromed for his 60's Impala. The results were amazing. I've considered going that way too. You can only keep an eye open and hope for the best. I have one for my 71 in pristine condition but plan to hold on to it. I replaced it with a 73 version so I could incorporate my Vintage Air ac/heat control panel properly. That said, I'm looking for a 'very good' 73 panel myself.

ArnZ Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have a 71 that has a couple of spots of chrome missing. Won't work for a concours resto. Maybe a 6.5 or 7 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 99% sure this was the case but i wanted to check and make sure someone wasnt reproducing them. I have a wild hair to make a mold and cast a few of them. I just need one in better shape then what i have to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossy74 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I was looking at making repoductions a little while ago but I didn't seem to get much interest here in Australia, I even found a brand new in box NOS heater panel but i didn't buy it, it sold for $775AUD!!!

I think i would only need to sell a handful to make my money back... and as an added bonus i would get a nice "new" bezel. Unless someone else is setup to knock this out quickly then i will prob give it a shot after i get a bezel worth making a mold of. anyone?
