So I hope somebody can help me. I rebuilt the gauges on my truck. I'm going back together and needing help to where the seals are going for the bezels, I received the seals, two different lengths and two different OD's, When the gauges came apart there where no seals, most all was turned to dust.

Thanks
Ryan

I do believe the original 'seals' were made of a tar-like material. You may have seen some in old trucks that have been baking in the sun for decades where the tar just kinda melts and runs down the bezel. I would guess one seal goes behind the glass (probably the thicker one) and one goes in front of it to insulated it from the steel retaining ring/bezel do-dad.

Everything is put back together, one last question tho. The two indicator lights in the dash. Green is turn signal indicator and the red is flasher? or high beam?

Thanks for help with my dumb questions.
