Title: Headlight switch, Wiper switch and cigar lighter bezels & knobs
Post by: craig429 on March 07, 2012, 09:38:02 PM

Has anyone seen the reproduction Headlight switch, Wiper switch and cigar lighter bezels & knobs for 69/70 Mustangs that can be bought through Laurel Mountain Mustang or Ohio Mustang?  I have seen them on Ebay saying they are exact. I am wondering if they are worth it.

Can the original bezels be rechromed, or will the texture and lettering be filled in?

Cost is the biggest factor to re-plating/chroming.  It's out of control these days.
 
I have had good luck with the Scott Drake line which is one of the vendors the mustang outlets buy from.

My original bezels, knobs, and switches are all in a baggie.  Everything works just fine and the bezel's look great.

One of these days I'll make me a little plastic-chrome vac machine once I understand all the processes involved.  ???

Yea...Right  ;D

Good luck!
