My chrome platers have lost the bezel from my petrol gauge.  It's the standard Lucas gauge with 56mm dia bezel from my late '32 Tourer.  I think the same gauge was used until 1939.  Does anyone have a spare please? Or maybe a scrap gauge with a sound bezel? Condition of brass/chrome unimportant.
Thank you.

I have a gauge with a broken needle. There is slight deterioration of the chrome under the dirt and a tiny ripple on the edge of the bezel, but I am sure it would flatten easily. Give me an email address and I will send you a picture; I don't know to do it here (what's a URL? I've got the picture on a memory card). I am lordshipvilla@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you to all those who replied.  I never thought to look for a new one, I assumed they were no longer produced!  I'm still living in the 1970s when all stuff like that was used and plentiful. 
 I am now fixed up, thank you very much.
