Super Avenger bezel upgrade:

[shultz]

Hi there,

I figured out that the bezel on my SA (V2) is pressed on. Screws have no function. As well the bezel sits damn tight and it will be a challenge to get it removed. I have been told by some members that the V2 case will not fit the gen bezel because the rep case is different to the genuine case. Other members told me that I will need just an inner mounting ring to get the gen bezel installed.

I have a gen bezel in stock but no screws and no inner mounting ring. The sets I noticed on the bay are just containing the bezel and the screws but no inner ring.

My questions:

1) Will an entire bezel set fit the V2 case at all? Is the V1 case different (with working screws) and can the prob be solved just by sourcing a V1 case?

2) Does anybody know a source just for the mounting rings and a set of screws?

I appreciate any help especially by those members/ modders who already realized the swap succesfully.

Cheers and many thanks

Not going to work. One is press fit, one is screwed on. All the pieces or not, it's not going to fit without some major modifications.

Andrew, do you mean I should go for a V1 case? Or will that need some major modds as well?

V1 case will work fine, same design as the gen. Only problem is that the v1 crystal, dial, pushers, caseback, etc. are inferior. There is no guarantee that those parts could be transfered from a v2. I would certainly explore that route if I was doing a franken SA.
