VDO Gauge lenses needed

[Artic Warrior]

Hi All,

I have the old VDO square bezel gauges 4" or (100mm) to anyone under 35,
I think they are the Vanguard model, One company in USA said they had them but im trying to get them
in the UK, I think the lenses are the same even if the bezel is square or round
I neeeeeed four of them (Lens only)
But im prepared to buy whole units if they are not toooo expensive

You mean you just need the "glass"? Make your own from polycarbonate.

If they are round like watch glasses then there are various online firms supplying these in diameters of various mm plus fractions-I got one for an old WW1 prismatic compass I have.

Hi,
I think they are not flat, but I think these have a stepped lip around the edge, and I think they are double lenses too from what ive read,
Im back out to the boat in September so will take a closer look then
