I need a bezel for my bender.

I need a bezel for a home brew bender I just started.
I started with a short throw and decided a long throw would be better.
My bender by Forrest Lee is a killer and I love it but I don't like gigging it at some places I play.
It is a champagne sparklecaster by our very own Buckocaster.
The bender I built is as stated earlier a long throw.
The bezel I have for it hits at the top when bending and there's no room for modification.
Will one of you talented machinists make one for me?
I need it to be 1.25 inches wide.
3/4 inch opening.1.75 inches long.
2.5 inches long.

Except for the 1.25 outside width, a standard P/W long throw bezel will work with all your measurements. The outside width of a P/W long throw bezel is just slightly over an inch. For a custom bezel, check with Bill Bores as he makes all his own stuff. He's on Facebook.

The bezel I have is for a short throw I guess.
Is there a difference?
