I'd check the junkyard for a new gauge.

I'd get the whole gauge if you broke the part I'm thining about.
If you can't find it, check www.recycler.com www.partstrader.com www.haprecycling.com (I think) There are many more online recycling things too.

you are supposed to take the screws out of the gauges and then place the new gauges over the stock ones. Put the screws back in, and make sure there are no light leaks. You should have been able to do this without removing your gauges. That's too bad that they broke, mine was a piece of cake to install. Hope you find other replacements.

Do not even touch or move the needles during the install. If they do get bumped, put them back exactly how you found them.

If your whole cluster is messed up, check Ebay or the other sites that were given to you. Clusters pop up now and then.

yeah you dont need to remove the old gauges, just lay the new ones over it and put the screws on top. Don't remove the needles, though its too late. Check ebay. I always see gauge clusters there, cheap too.

go get a new cluster for sure..I did the same thing over 2yrs ago and you learn from your mistakes and not finding out How To before hand.
you could also try www.aaforeign.com as that's where I got mine from to replace my broken one. good luck on the fix and remember needles don't come off...  |
