Anyone know if there are reproduction dash knobs/bezels for a 69 Dart out there? Doesn't look like it cruising the net. Is there a company out there that restores them? When I say bezel I am referring to the chrome ring around the knobs, not the dash bezels.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of, knobs, bezels, none of it (67-72, A-body etc.). What makes it worse is that even most NOS examples have some pitting or bubbling showing simply because they were so poorly cast and chromed originally. I have looked into having them made but so far the large tooling costs have been prohibitive for me.

This pic is the style I believe covers the most models, it's Die cast pot metal with chrome plating. The nut that is behind it has been reproduced, they can be found on ebay,

I thought there was someone making the 67-69 Cuda thinner knobs. Maybe Dart too. You look a Classic Industries yet or Charger Specialties ?

Can't remember where I saw them.

Well that was quick.

Google image this: "Dart headlight knob"

These look like the knobs on my 68 Dart. And like the 69's I've seen.

Only problem I could see is if the Coronet/Charger took a longer shaft. Doubt it. But measure yours and compare.

My 68 Dart Wiper knob is like this, but I don't think it's got a set screw. Just a ferrule-like deal inside the hole.

Here's an original headlight knob and bezel for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOPAR-67-68-69-D...4f8&vxp=mtr


Here's a NEW wiper bezel for sale from a great vendor (Mega Parts): http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Mopar-1967-7...32b&vxp=mtr

I'd call Mega Parts and see what else they have for a 69 Dart. They are sharp enough to actually help you.

That is the style I see in Rallye instrument cars like 67-69 Barracudas and 70-71 340 cars.

The coronet/charger knobs look correct only difference Is the ones in my Dart don't say "wiper" or "lights". Thanks for the links.
