Default Dash bezel for choke on a 36 roadster

Hi guys . Asking if anyone knows of a bezel that exists or fits the dash choke hole on my 36. I can’t seem to find a bezel for that year , so any alternative would be great .

That’s right but I don’t want rubber grommets and the other dash holes are bezels but I can’t figure out from what. The choke is the only one I need a bezel for

The dash light switch and cigar lighter are factory with bezel being part of them. The rods didn’t have bezels from factory but it you wanted you may be able to use a chrome plug , put a hole in plug and then use factory grommets. Or have some chrome decals made.

The original plastic dash knobs are also available new from Dennis Carpenter reproductions.

The only bezel that comes to mind is for the 32 throttle or choke rod . One end is threaded for a nut to secure it to the dash and the rod slides thru it.You would have to disassemble your rods at the collar joint and slip it on then reassemble the rod. Just a thought.

41 headlight switch and bezel. Use the mounting parts without the switch. I know the bezel is the right size to fit in the 35 dash throttle hole.

That’s right but in metal like the other bezels in the pic I posted. Thanks for the lead much appreciated. Interesting that things like this so simple and needed aren’t made

Thanks for the info. I looked and can’t find anything. I have a 41 ford coupe as well and it seems bezels etc for this year are not re produced . Still on the look out
