Thanks,

They are officially discontinued, you cannot get them from lenovo. eBay or the forum market place is your best bet.

The flat bezel ones are very difficult to find (P/N: 13N5108). I've an older one that I can pass on ... this was designed for the T4x, with the curved bezel. It is the FRU 62P4331, as shown here:
https://www.compu-lock.com/tbezel.asp

It does not fit the T60 perfectly (with the curved bezel) and is slightly loose, but it will not slide out on its own. PM me if you want this.

Mods, this needs to be moved to the Marketplace probably.

edit:
I make way too many typos!

Like I just mentioned in another thread, I have this curved travel bezel in my T60 and am perfectly happy with it. In fact, its being somewhat loose means it might be slightly smaller and thus lighter than the flat one! Both the flat and the curved versions are hard to find, so I strongly recommend you to get this from gator, a highly trusted member of this forum. Otherwise, you might need to wait for a few more months before you can find another one available for sale.

Thanks for your words of support, PW.

Thank you for your reply,
How much are you looking for, gator?

PM sent.

Thanks, I have just replied your PM.

When I saw the T61 HMM, this jumped out at me as a "must have".

Too bad it's OOP already. The T61 just came out.

This will probably help because the weight of the Nvidia model of T61 without optical drive is already 5.2-5.4 lbs according to Lenovo. With the optical drive, it can top up to 6lb.

Thought I'd copy the info over to this tread too:

Travel cover, 12.7 mm: 13N5354

I could use a 9mm myself, although I don't even have my T61 in hand yet.

man, i've been looking for one of these for a long time. anyone else have one they can part with?

If you know someone in ibm service, they have these in inventory. They keep all FRU's for parts for at least 5 years even after the item has been discountinued, in order to satisfy warranty requirements. But they can't be sold, just replaced in the field for service.

Does these Bezel fit to T60 models too?

Yes, it uses the 9.5 mm: 13N5108.

Can anyone point me at a service rep I can buy a coffee or something? I need one of these now.

PM me your address and i'll send you one.

well i have a T4x and i wouldn't mind one of these also

a T4x UltraBay battery would be nice too

Is the travel bezel similar to the blank that comes in the ultrabay enhanced slot on the advanced dock?

I just ordered a T40 bezel from Compu-Lock. They confirmed the order, but no confirmation of shipping yet. I'll let you know how it works in my T60 (if I get it...).

Snife, I think I love you. PM'd.

Supposedly yes. If the part numbers match. (They did on one the last T61 compatible dock I looked at)

Thanks,

Buy an advanced dock, and you get one for free

That's out of some people's price range at the moment.

Just a followup:
Got my travel bezel from Compu-Lock. As mentioned by others, it is beveled at the bottom, so it has a small gap, rather than sitting completely flush. Really, though, you'd probably never notice. Now, my T60 is almost lightweight enough to resemble my old faithful 570.
