Ordered all new bezels and black escutcheons for window winders and door handles from Rick at SS. As you know these have a tendency to swell over time making it difficult to get off and on. Since I was replacing window lift mechanisms I realized it was time to replace my originals. Make sure you keep your original springs as these are not available.
Anyway, the black escutcheons are very nice, as are the chrome bezels, but I was caught by surprise when I discovered the window winder handles have a different post diameter - Rick's chrome bezels wouldn't slide over the post. They work fine for the door handle but don't fit on the winder. I haven't checked the parts book yet to see if this is a later Series thing or a Tiger thing? Used my original bezels with Rick's repro escutcheons - all worked out in the end. Anyone else encountered this?
