6LE Bezel Installation

 

Item: http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=96

NOTE: If you have a 1997+ Firebird model OR Firebird bezel in your Camaro you will need to purchase a 1993-1996 Firebird model OR 1997+ Camaro model gauge lens (both are the same piece) to use with this bezel.

First you will need to attach the stainless steel bezel to the ABS. It doesn’t come attached so people can decide for sure if they want the combo on there or just the ABS or just the SS.

It is EASILY held in place with Plastic Weld. Get it from any hobby or arts and crafts store. Leave the scotch tape on that is currently holding the SS to the ABS, use the plastic weld brush to brush some in between all around. Let it set, remove the tape and, what I personally did next, then use the plastic weld like paint on ALL of the ABS.

This makes it look more finished (like a clearcoat) IMO and ensures it gets into all the cracks. That is what I did on my personal piece and I think it is the best option.

ANOTHER OPTION is to simply attach it with THIN double sided tape.

Once the stainless part is attached to the ABS, OR if you are only using the ABS or only the Stainless Steel, attach the bezel to the overlay itself using small pieces of doublesided 3M tape (cut with scissors easily) in various places (just a few pieces here and there, you don’t need to outline the entire bezel with it). This allows you to position the bezel in the best possible way (it is flexible) in my opinion.

Of course, the fun of the hobby is experimenting with doing things our own ways (paint it, glass it in, etc…) so this is just a guide… 

Thanks again for your purchase!
