Putting a 68 Shelby together and in immediate need of an NOS wood grain instrument cluster bezel.  Correct style with chrome around the center horse bright light indicator.

Im sorry I dont have one for sale but i recently bought what i thought was a NOS 68 woodgrain bezel.
It came in Fomoco box, stamped with Fomoco symbol and part number but does NOT have chrome around the bright light indicator.
Does this mean it is a repro and  not NOS?

i believe that would be a ford service part and not assembly line

I see, thank you.
Apologies,  it just occured to me that was a bit of a thread hijack.

On the vast majority of Ford service parts, the chrome border is painted black. It can be cleaned off if you are careful with a qtip and a small amount of thinner.

The Ford service part may also have the chrome rings around the two largest bezels painted black.

Yet another case of the service part not being exactly the same as the production part
