OK - in the absence of a reply some help.
As you know James had a load made:
viewtopic.php?f=98&t=529 - he may know of someone who's recently upgraded who may have an old one? Or he may still have an old one himself?
One thing I noticed a lot in France and Italy is that they all have to have "long" plates at the back, presumably by law. This means many people have upgraded to James's other style of bezel (
viewtopic.php?f=98&t=528 ), and there are hundreds of original bezels lying around the continent. Chris Nicholson (and possibly Dave Howarth) may therefore have some lying around (ask if you need contact details), but it would probably be worth a quick PM to Raphael (France):
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=70 or Paolo (Italy):
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=209 - avid forum users and great translators, who can both probably locate you a bezel on their local forums. European shipping won't be a lot, or - if you can wait until June, about 20 of us are meeting up with Raphael and Paolo in France, along with a bunch of European DeLorean owners with spare bezels
