Anyone reproducing front turn signal SWFK2665?

#1 Post by Steve Raucher »

'58 T2 Speedster seeks pair front SWFK2665 proper turn signal set up.
Was told Victor Miles can engrave these digits into reproduction pieces.
Anyone else reproducing these for our vintage cars?
Anyone have a set of originals for sale?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
Early beehive bezels front & rear run 10.8mm to 11.0mm tall. Of the three 2665 bezels I have one is 12.3mm, one is 12.9mm and one is 13.5mm tall. I've heard these referred to as "tall" bezels, but I don't know if anyone is making them. I think Rick Albro has cast the pot metal wedges. I'll put him in touch with you.

Sorry, these are on my 58 cab. I only have one extra bezel but I'm hanging on to it. Victor can stamp the bezels for you if you find some blank talls. Originals pop up occasionally - post wtb ads here & on the Samba site.

So I have a few leads on the parts I need to build correct T2 front turn signals form 2 or 3 people at least.
Am I better off stepping up and paying top dollar for complete married nice set, or putting together the pieces from various parts. My concern is the fit and finish doing this way as opposed to getting the best at top dollar.
Comments are appreciated.
Leaning toward stepping up but time will tell.
Steve
