Wtb : Pole Position Cockpit bezel

Just pulled the 25" monitor from my Pole Position Cockpit to replace with a proper 19" and grab the PP bezel I got from friend, and sadly its the wrong one (Im guessing its for the upright) :( so anyway I have a super nice minty upright bezel if anyone needs one, and im looking for the cockpit version, shoot me a PM if you have one with price, thanks

My cockpit had a 25 in it too (and was converted to road riot 4wd). In fact they had to "dig" into the particle board to make it fit with the way the mounting ears stick out.

Anyway, I made a cardboard bezel from scratch for mine, and it turned out great. I used my centipede bezel as a general example, and then figured out what measurements to take in order to make a similar bezel to fit the PP. Then I spray painted it to give it somewhat of a sheen since the poster board was flat black. I'm telling you, NO ONE will ever notice that it's not an original unless they open up my cockpit and examine it directly. So my suggestion is that you do the same thing. I have to admit it was a bit of a pain to get it exactly right, but I couldn't be any happier with the results.
 
Do you mean the graphic bezel? Yeah those can be tough to find. The cockpit graphic design is sooooo much nicer than the upright. Fits the color scheme better too:

yeah sorry my bad, yeah I meant the graphic (Glass) part, yep my current one is same as upright :( never measured it just got it, anyway found a cockpit bezel (thanks HFK!!!) got a 19" back in it now and looks much nicer IMO
now to get the cardboard bezel made, and sort my CP, seems to stick out at the sides even thou its bolted down, how is the hinge part attached to cab? flat or bent back on itself?

Bent in I think. I'll have to look tonight.
 
Were you able to grab one of the repro toppers? Can't remember who all got one when we finished with them, as few people ever posted pics.

wow that topper is cool!
figured out, pulled CP apart and flipped hinge, figure they used it the other way to allow plexi to fit in space with the 25" as it was butting up against the plexi, a nice piece of plexi, and CP all straightened out, all good till I get proper bezel and cardboard insert :)

btw if anyone has a topper for sale, shoot me a PM, thanks
 
You will have your bezel soon. I have a topper but it isn't for sale. :) I think there were still a couple available not too long ago, do a search for PP topper.
