Dan,


Damn, I'm sorry. I already felt bad after I posted the comment the other day. I didn't mean anything bad posting it but thought about how it could be taken negatively after the fact. I may have a bezel I could hook you up with to get the original back up and running. The part that is dented is a thin sheet metal part. There is a more substantial bezel under it that actually looks pretty good on its own.


I'm sorry I rubbed salt in the wound,


Jason

Jason,

Apology accepted.....we are all good.
If you do happen to have a good decent bezel we would certainly be interested and appreciative.
PLEASE EMAIL ME.....with what you may have?

Thanks,

Dan

Love the stance.
Time to scoop the loop. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Now that is one pretty &quot;shovel&quot; ...

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

I may have a extra bezel too....

Jason,

Thanks for making Dan feel more terrible than he already does....here is the reason we had to install a reproduction tach.....as Dan accidently dropped the Real Tach and put a nice dent in her [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Whats the date code on that tach? Mine is dated 1970 and is different. Maybe because its an 8 grand instead of 9.

Perfect complement to the M/T Super Scavenger headers. I can't even imagine how incredible an L88 is going to sound being exhausted by those headers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

What are you planning on using for a header pipe flange? The one that will mount your exhaust to the round collector flange? I have the same flange on a set of headers I just picked up, but I have to make the flange out of a turbo flange.

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

The collector is square four bolt, It won't be perfect but it will work until I can find some one with a water jet to cut out the matching flange, will post pictures of it later this week.\\

Thanks. I was able to pick up two turbo flanges that were the right diameters for $10 each from a guy in Texas. The mounting holes aren't the correct distance on center though, so I have to drill four new holes. Shouldn't be bad. I might weld the other ones closed and I might not. Here's what my headers look like and the flanges I picked up.
