I'm behind, I didn't know Autometer made a bezel for these. Link?

Where did you buy one that didn't fit properly?

Didn’t. But rhymes have 2 different ones and one of them does not have a screw hole on the upper right side of the stereo. So I was wondering if that one would work Product #2137

I'd never heard of an AutoMeter bezel either but it did make me curious. Here's a link to what the OP is apparently talking about.

It's not merely a replacement bezel - it's specifically designed to house AutoMeter gauges to replace the factory cluster. Interesting product, but far from inexpensive. It's listed only to fit 73 to 83 which I assume is due to the fact that it has the wiper window cutout which wouldn't exist from 84 on after the wipers moved to the turn signal stalk. The radio area is blanked out, and the bezel is otherwise just plain black plastic. I would imagine it could easily be installed in an 84-91 rig but I don't know what the open wiper switch window would reveal - I'm a 73-80 sort of fellow.

OK. I hadn't seen that before, and I didn't know the DIN radio bezels weren't reproduced. I've never seen a review of the Autometer bezel, not sure about how it fits overall, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to fit the stock gauge cluster correctly.
