| Subject: | Steam gauge bezels |
All-
Does anyone have a lead on bezels for 3-1/8" steam gauges? To put it
simply, a trim ring?
I'm installing used Cessna gauges that back mount and no matter how
close the cut, you wind up with an ugly area around the ring that shows
through the panel. Truth be told, I got heavy handed with my file.
I know, I know, this is purely cosmetic but I have to stare at the
panel for a long time and if there's a way of cleaning things up I can
buy off the shelf, I'll do it. If not, I'll fabricate something.

Bill when ready I can have your panel dipped in a film and finished in
satin epoxy take a look at my website www.dipcrazy.com this will give
you a great looking panel.

all,
many thanks to Jeff for the photos and logic to help solve the high temps on the
rear cylinders. also to Randy who has the same problem. i had tried adding an
1 1/2" skirt to the bottom of the cowl to no avail. i have also tried large
deflectors in the ram air ducts. i also trimmed them 1/8" at a time until i wound
up with small deflectors. the oil cooler is sealed tightly as is the ram air
ducts to the cowl openings. i will keep experimenting to find the right combination.
thanks to all who offered help. i will post the findings when you or i solve the
problem.
thanks again

Since we are showing panel stuff here are some photos of what I did the last two
weekends.
The panel is painted with RustOleum "Hammered" finish paint.
The circuit breaker panel will come out with 4 screws for service.
The eyeball vents are the ~$56 ones from ACS. One reason they are cheaper than
all those $100+ versions is that you have to supply the collar for the air hose
to attache to.

Bill,
If you have a fly cutter and a drill press you can make what you need. Clamp piece
of metal to plywood, clamp plywood to drill press. Cut inner hole the size
of gage o.d. Reset cutter larger and gently cut the bezel. Make sure to keep
the center pilot tight. I use a dowel pin for the center of my fly cutter.
Clean off the burrs and glue in place.
