Switch Bezels

I am looking for a couple smooth switch bezels. If I had a lathe I would turn them myself but I am sure that someone else has either done it already or has far more skills on the lathe than I. I have a 56 light switch and an aftermarket wiper switch (came with the replacement electric wiper setup) that I would like to have a matching set of bezels. If anyone has a source for these bezels I would appreciate a point in the right direction. Here is a sample of a bezel:

Thanks Joe. The stock bezels are what I am looking to replace. I am looking for something like a turned billet aluminum bezel with no engraving.

Sorry, after I reread your first line, I see you want them "smooth" without the labels.

What are the cable housing dimensions? Check out the marine sites:

Do you need the "D" shaped center opening?

That is a good source Ross, unfortunately those washers are a bit too small for what I need. One thing that I did see about those washers is that they would be perfect for rear fender bolts...maybe a little thick but easily sanded down to size. I am not concerned about the "D" center hole since there will be no engraving then there will be no need to index them to the switch. Thanks...
