seafoam Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi folks. So I'm pressing a WSO 114270 bezel over a Clark 25-295 crystal and was wondering if anyone new how much bigger you want the outside diameter of the crystal to be than the inside diameter of the bezel? Can anybody help me out here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's hard to say because the measurements are very small between it either being too loose or the crystal cracking because its too tight. As you're using two different rep parts it would be pure luck if you get them to fit right especially anything from that idiot from WSO. Cheers P.

seafoam Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The difference now is about 1.3mm where the crystal diameter is larger than the bezel inner diameter. I was hoping to be able to trim the bezel a bit to get a good fit as i assume 1.3mm is to dramatic of a difference to fit the bezel over the crystal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 No offense intended but the best thing to do is throw that piece of junk from WSO away and find a different source. A monkey with no fingers would do a better job fabricating a bezel then a WSO one. Hi folks.

JoeyB Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I just pressed a Clark's 16610 bezel on a Clark's 25-295c with no problem at all. Nice and tight, good click when it made the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoam Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ok, so the WSO 114270 bezel fit perfectly around the Clark 295-25 no date crystal. No sanding required. And as it turns out, despite his poor reputation, the bezel looks pretty darn good IMHO. Check it out: photo sharing image upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
