Savage Gauge Bezel
We keep getting asked about this one — the gauge bezel is one of those Savage parts that fails long before the rest of the unit is done. Variants differ between years and models, so we'll need your part (broken is fine) to match the exact one.

Why these break
Gauge bezels crack and fog lets moisture in. Heat cycling is the killer here: years of expanding and contracting work-hardens the plastic until a routine bump becomes the final straw.
How we reproduce them
We model these in CAD from your sample, print a test-fit first, then run the final part once the fit is confirmed. Expect a few days end to end.
We print these in ASA. ASA is the UV-stable cousin of ABS — it holds its colour and strength through years of Australian sun where the original plastic went chalky and brittle.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
