VP Gauge (smaller) - changing the glass lens

[superheat6k]

Does anyone know where these can be bought - smaller size panel gauge, one of mine has become sun crazed.

Possibly VDO. Thanks.

I got my local glazing company to make me a circle of glass for my underwater camera box. Then I cracked it, so I made the replacement myself with the surplus glass.

If you manage to open a VDO gauge, do tell us how.

End of a sharp penknife blade and gently prise the edge of the lens. It just pops up.

Turned out mine had a double lens, but simple to replace once I found the correct diameter courtesy of Foulkes Chandlery barge.
