john minchin Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I am in the process of cleaning up the 2" gauges for my sidescreen car. When I take them apart there appears to be perished rubber seal between the bezel and the glass plus the one which goes between gauge and dash. Also I am missing a couple of domed glasses. I have being on the internet for some time now to no avail. Please could someone identify where I could get these 2 seals for each gauge + a couple of domes. The difficult bit being the glass to bezel seals. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I have used 'O' rings on a number of gauge re-builds, cant remember the exact size, but I can measure one if you like, I have a packet of them for just that reason. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john minchin Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks gents, the 'O' ring idea is excellent I have found a supplier on ebay already. I'm get my vernier on the gauge and order accordingly. Although the glass domes may need a more conventional approach as indicated by Roger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ijonsson Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I bought bezels and domed glasses from Holden Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 John, I used this (ebay descreption) : NEW 3mm Sponge Cord Seal x 1 meter for Smiths Bezel Item 301323583504 They also do a 4mm dia for the larger instruments. The cheapest place for domed glass is: https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/mineral-glass-rough-edge-convex-clock-glasses I have not tried them, but they are clock parts suppliers and have just about any size you may want.

The gauge to dash can be found as mentioned by others so look forward to further replies . ROY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Roy, As I mentioned earlier, look at eBay item 301323583504. The description reads: "NEW 3mm Sponge Cord Seal x 1meter Fits between Bezel and Glass recommended for small type bezels a 4mm version is available for the large bezels." I have used this myself to go between the bezel and the glass. Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
