New rallye dash line up....?

[Shmaako]

Purchased a new dash bezel from PG Classics and a cluster housing which was advertised from a 67 barracuda.
My 67 barracuda never came with a dash so I've had to purchase all separately.

Few questions ...
What kind of screws hold these together?

is the very end of the bezel not supposed to reach the last hole to have a screw hold it?

and lastly,
Is the heating controls face on the dash not supposed to be at the same angle as the temperature control mount of the mount?

We need Redfish back. If ANYBODY knows him or can contact him, please do so, or pass contact info to me

I AM STILL NOT SCARED OF THE DAMN BIG RED PRINT FROM DOWN THERE. IN FACT EVERY TIME I THINK OF HIM I GET ANGRY.

I'm fairly certain the aluminum housing you are trying to attach the bezel to is the wrong one.

Is yours out of a Dart or Valiant with a standard gauge assembly?

I just happen to have mine out, a 68 Barracuda, and the radio / heater section is different than yours.

Let's see a front pic of that housing. Something looks different.
**edit** just checked my 67, looks the same. I bet they sent wrong bezel?

Looks like the bezel is made wrong. The end needs to be longer like a 68 and up

 

[davescuda]

The 68 and up looks longer. I will have take a look at my bezels

 

[Super-Cuda]

Actually, after checking scuder's post. I found this.

Look at the screw and washer on the left holding the bezel.

It looks factory.

Its 27 pics down.

For some reason, I can't copy and paste the exact location in the post.

The cutout on the bezel for the radio is definitely not '68 or '69. Thumbwheel radio only for those years, and maybe 1970 in Dusters with Rallye dash?
1967 had knobs, which the new bezel is set up for.

I purchased a 67 bezel from PG.
Then ordered a 67 cluster frame from ebay.

unfortunately it doesn't show the type of screws used to attach the cluster with the bezel..the new report from PG looks as though it's not even threaded holes...

 

[davescuda]

I was just curious if they sent you the 71 rally bash but it has the flasher in it

Read the post that scuder posted.

The answer to all your questions are there, including a pic of a tray of hardware that shows the hex headed screws that hold the bezel to the cluster. You can see them in the upper left in the parts tray with all the dash hardware in it.

There are 4 of them.

Ya I saw that but wasn't sure they were the screws in question....thank you!

Do you have the reinforcing plate that screws under the top of the bezel? They support the bezel and keep it from sagging.
If you don't have one, you can put a wanted ad for one on the forum.

Thanks for the re-direct to this post S'cuder.

Very well done.

Just wish I had seen it before.

Cheers!!

Good point!

You can't actually secure the instrument cluster properly without it as its the anchor point for the screws that go up through the instrument cluster bezel.

Also can be seen in the post referred to earlier by S'cuder
