47heaven Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Does anyone know the name of this round ring part that fills in the space between the ignition switch and chrome control panel below the dash? Not sure of the exact name of it, or part number, but I'm sure the diagram can explain what part I'm talking about. It's for my P-15, but I'm sure it would the same in other 46-48 Chrysler cars. The locksmith lost my original one when I had him remove the cylinder. Who may carry one of these, by chance? I already tried Ebay and Andy's, with no results. Thanks,Darin _________________________________________________________________________________“Arrogance is a creature. It does not have senses. It has only a sharp tongue and the pointing finger.”
soth122003 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 I believe that is called a bezel ring, but I am not positive. I also have no idea where you can get just the ring. Joe 1
T120 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 The part number for the ignition lock switch bezel is 1149894 1
Andydodge Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 I would also have referred to that part as the ignition switch "ferrul" however bezel may also be appropriate.........andyd 1
John Reddie Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 I would think that these guys should have a bunch kicking around that will fit your car. Good luck to you. John R http://mooresautosalvage.com/ 1
47heaven Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Gentlemen. thanks for your input! This really helps a lot because now I know the name of the piece, which really will help in the search for it. John, thanks for the valuable link. (To the moderator who tried to bounce this topic to the back of another one....now do you see why it's not always a good thing to do it YOUR way?) Edited April 2, 2015 by 47heaven
John Reddie Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Hey 47, You are welcome, anytime. Moore lists a lot of '46 P 15's at his yard and I'd be surprised if he can't help you. Dodges in that group probably used the same bezel as well. John R

John R http://mooresautosalvage.com/ John....I called these "good 'ol boys," and they do have my part. The only problem is that they want $50 for it. I asked the guy why he so steep on the price. He told me that it would take some time getting it out. I laughed and told him, "All you do is unbolt the ignition switch from the dashboard and the bezel comes right off" He said, "We'll yeah, but we gotta pay our boy to go out there and take it off, plus shipping." I told him I'd think about it (yeah right!) Too funny! Thanks for answering my post, though. Edited April 2, 2015 by 47heaven
47heaven Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 I know he has all the parts, but the problem is that HE knows he does too.
John Reddie Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Sorry about that. That is waaaay over the edge. Maybe check out Hemmings or google other yards and possibly find one that wants to actaully sell parts. I hope you can score one. John R 1
47heaven Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 Does this bezel hold a light socket ? No, junkers, but it has a slot on the side that lets the light from the light socket shine through so one can see the key hole at night.
junkers72 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 I do have extra parts from a special deluxe parts car I stripped a few years ago. If I locate what I think your looking for I will post a pic. If I do have what your looking for I will hook you up. Will be able to look over the weekend. 1

Just send me a private message when and if you do come across it. We take it from there. Thanks!

Ulu Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 As a side note: A Bezel is a trim. A Ferrule is a reinforcement. They are defined by function, not looks, and one can easily look like the other. They just do different things.

Thanks for the clarification on that.
John Reddie Posted April 4, 2015 Report Posted April 4, 2015 Wow. This site has regulations now that frankly leave me confused. I submitted a post recently showing a photo of several '36 Plymouths and it was quickly shoved to the OT section but yet other posts containing subjects that are not Plymouth related are discussed on the forum with no problem. It almost seems that it is not so much the content of the post that decides its fate but rather who the poster is. Having old cars and maintaining them is fun and people involved in this hobby should help each other which for the most part happens here but I don't understand why some of the rules have become so strict.
