Howdy, Pieters-41CC has an oil pressure gauge (mechanical) on it that was made by the Moto Meter Gauge & Equipment Corp. of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The glass face is broken and I need to replace it. Searching the internet, it looks like these things have been out of manufacture for quite some time, which means I'll probably end up just getting a new gauge. However, if I can figure out how to get the bezel off to get to the glass face, I'm sure I can get a new glass face somewhere. Thing is, I can't see how the bezel comes off.Two screws on the back of the case hold the works into the case but don't help to get the bezel off. The bezel either screws in or is pressed into the front of the housing and case, but I don't want to pry it off if it's threaded. Anybody know anything about these gauges or should I just get a new one and forget it? As it is, the gauge does not read zero with it out of the panel and nothing hooked to it, so I know it's not calibrated properly. I can put it on a bench tester at work and recalibrate it if I can get a new glass face.If I'm just being sentimental trying to keep this gauge, speak up and I'll get a new one.

Hi OscarA lot of old guages have a bezel that twists off. Push down and twist like a jar lid. Some sort of jar lid holder might help and save the finish.Good luckSteve G.>From: "Oscar Zuniga" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>Subject: Pietenpol-List: oil pressure gauge>Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2006 17:40:40 -0600>>>>Howdy, Pieters->>41CC has an oil pressure gauge (mechanical) on it that was made by the Moto >Meter Gauge & Equipment Corp. of LaCrosse, Wisconsin.
