The one in the pic is actually a '60 with '61 gauges in it. Do you want one like in the pic or the correct '61 type ? The '61 piece does not have individual L & R turn indicators like the one in the pic, at least on U.S. models here in the states.

Thanks for your reply. I am after the bezel with the two indicator slots (left & right slots). My white guages are ok.

the bezel I have like the one you want has a black gauge/oil light bezel and I don't know if it can be removed without damaging bezel. If removed successfully, would you want/expect '61 white one in its place ?

I am only after the bezel/fascia. From memory it is attached to the instrument cluster with about 4 screws, easy to remove. If the bezel/fascia and the lenses are ok I can have the bezel re-chromed. Attached are a few pictures. Thanks, Peter
Attached is a pic of my bezel. You'll notice it has black guage faces. When bezel/faceplate is separated from the guages and backing plate there is still a black faced gauge trim piece attached to the bezel with three (3) rivets. I've tried to remove these rivets before, to remove the black faced guage trim, to install a white trim and only managed to break/ruin the bezel. On U.S. cars no bezel with seperate turn arrows ever came with white guages like yours in the pic you posted. PM me if you wish to discuss further.
