    The clock that I have has a chrome ring that was dented pretty badly, I'm guessing when someone replaced the lens. I've been looking for replacement rings, but so far haven't been able to find anything that looks correct. There are some Fiat rings that look to be close, but not sure the diameter is correct. Has anyone had any luck finding a source for these?

    I've seen the Mr. Fiat ones. But it looks like they have the correct outer diameter (56mm), but the ID is 43mm, which is too small, ours are 50mm. I was tempted to order them anyway, since the ring itself is relatively inexpensive to see, but with $100 shipping I'm a little hesitant to jump on that if there's a reasonable chance that they're the wrong ones.
    I'm probably not posting the link properly, but, copied from ebay:

    The shipping rates caught me by surprise as well.

    Have you reached out to Palo Alto Speedometer? They may have supply of these.

    I haven’t, it’s a good thought. I hadn’t really thought of it, since I have a working clock, and don’t need it rebuilt. But, they might be willing to sell me the part too. I’ll try calling them on Monday, and see if they can help. Thanks.

    I did call Palo Alto Speedo today. They will replace the chrome ring and lens for $250. But they won’t sell parts. I don’t really need a new lens, as I suspect that the bezel was damaged by a prior replacement of the lens, but that may end up being the route I go. Going to try a few other options to source just the part that I actually need myself, but we will see.
    If it comes down to it’s going to be ~$150 for the bezel, or $250 to have them do it for me, I’ll be shipping it off to Palo Alto.

    You won’t be disappointed. They do really nice work. They have repaired two clocks of mine.
