Dash ***** & Bezels

Im about to paint my dash on my 66 CC.

I want to replace the dash ***** and bezels. Everything works, the ***** are worn and the chrome on the bezels is pitted.

Im confused on what parts I need.

I looked at NPD, LMC, and Carpenter. Their catalogs do not seem to have consistant information.

What Im looking for is:

bezels for: ignition, lights, wipers, lighter, hazard light, hazard switch, choke, and heater.

***** for all the above, except the ignition switch and hazard light.

I agree the Carpenter catalog sucks trying to figure out what is what but they have everything you need. Some slightly different in appearance than stock but decent. If you do not have them side by side knowone will be the wiser. I will try to find the proper numbers for you.

I've purchase new ones from several vendors; but if yours are not real bad; onces remove take super fine steel wool and polish them and them use a black sharpee and repaint the lettering then wax them; you'll be amaze to the new look.
