Does anyone know where I can get replacements? What I have now is probably fine, but it would be better if I could find a replacement set while I am at it.

I've search multiple sites and google and did not come up with anything.

Thanks.

I think you need to be more specific... After market gauges? Stock? O-rings and gaskets for what exactly? We're happy to help, but not sure how! And gauges can get expensive.

It's for the rubber seal that wraps around the lens for the speedometer and tac on the dash. It goes under the chrome covers.

Thank you.

Ah ha! I see now. Early or late car? I know my 67.5 has only the rubber around the clock, otherwise no gaskets that I know of, but my car is NOT an example of stock or what's original. Looks like they ended up making some of them by hand...

it is a late 1968. I've taken it apart to clean the lens and the chrome. It is in decent shape. I wonder if it's the same size as gauges from other cars.

I just used a very thin bead of silicone to set the glass into to keep it from rattling. I don't think the gauge can be made moisture or dust proof. Rattle free was all I was trying to achieve.

fwiw

I just took my gauges apart to recondition. As being in the desert for 3 decades the sun made crispy of anything from petroleum distillates production. My rubber gauge lens seals were crispy and brittle.
I had new lenses cut from glass( I hate plastic)....and wanted to remake the seals. I'm considering using either urethane or silicone in black to replicate. I'd imagine I'll have to make the plug for molding on a lathe in bar stock aluminum.
