67 and 68 gauge lens
« on: January 17, 2020, 06:25:34 PM »
I just noticed that other 67 & 68 Camaro’s have a chrome ring around the plastic lens for the speedometer and fuel or tach gauges? Mine does not have this chrome ring on the Clear plastic lens....I do have the chrome ring around the housing itself but no evidence of it being on the clear lens covering gauges?  Has mine just worn off or was it a change.

 I have only seen the ring around the black housing edge itself. At least for '67.

Yes, 68's have a Chrome accent on Both the Large Dash Painted Plastic Outer Housing & The Clear Lens (Funnel lens) for the gage pair.

Photos to follow.

Thanks for posting picture....I also noticed that the 68 lens has a cone (funnel) that is not nearly as deep as the cone 67’s .
