Mercury Gauge Bezel
Spares support for older Mercury products is patchy at best. Reproducing the gauge bezel locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. 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. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
These take a proper modelling pass: we measure the mounting points and clip geometry from your part, reinforce the known failure point, and verify fit with a test print before the final run.
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.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
