Good Day Everyone.
My 63 vet clock has a cracked lens. The bezel has 6 pins that holds the lens in place. The pins are riveted over so the heads had to be ground off to get the old glass out.

My question is what is the best way to reassemble the bezel now that the pins are too short to peen over.

Bye for now
Mike

Hi everyone
One answer that I'm using is to epoxy the bezel to the clocks metal housing. But a better solution would be to gently pry the bezel off with a small screw driver. Leaving the pin heads intact. That way I could have preened the bezel back on.
Oh well...live and learn
Bye for now
