70 woodgrain dash bezel question/help

[davek]

Replacing the wood decals garbage with original bezels on the Bee. Todays fun, My question is will the screws hold it together or should I use some two way tape on this. How was itat the factory? Thanks Dave

Im pretty sure they are glued together

Woodgrain should have fold over tabs that go through a plastic backer that attaches in the usual way

The backing plate for the overlay should have small metal tabs. These metal tabs go through slots in the plastic bezel and fold over. This holds the two parts together.
All 5 pieces of dash trim are assembled in the same way.

Yes I do know about the tabs on the bezels. My question was the factory one is 2 pieces of metal and is splitting, didnt know if the factory glued or 2 way taped them. 2nd picture.

I popped mine apart to get a visual... definitely looks glued

Yes.....some type of glue or adhesive to attach two layers.

My main gauge bezel is 3 pieces, bezel and two metal pieces. Never notice this when I installed the decals on the old one.
