Yep, Hank is the one we finally goaded into making the replacement 
bezels ;-)    Mine was badly warped but then it's a first-article 
handbuilt model with no serial number, so it took a little detective 
work for him to determine that there was stress in the castings of 
enough bezels to justify the setup and production costs.   Prior to that 
I'd talked to at least one guy who suggested I do what he claims to have 
done - whittled a form out of wood, rammed up a mold, melted down an old 
aluminum engine block or two - and cast my own!    I liked Hanks CNC 
option much better.
