I am in the process of refinishing my dash panel and since I had the gauges out I wanted to do something with the 3 gauges I have that are clouded up on the inside. I tried making 2 small small cuts on the back side if the bezel in hopes of being able to bend it enough to get it off the gauge. No luck as of yet. I looked to see if I could find replacement bezels and could not. So, I'm going back to the well of knowledge you guys have. Short of replacing the gauges what do you guys recommend?
 
I am interested too. I noticed they had Sierra Gauges in packs at Overtons, but I am unsure if they'd be direct replacements? I know nothing about replacing them.
 
Yeah it looks like the Sierra parts are plentiful but I'm finding nothing for the Teleflex. I found a liquidator about an hour south of me. In the pics it looks like they have a ton of the Teleflex gauges. Looks like they get 14.95 for the 2" gauges. That might be cheaper than buying parts to fix mine.

Do they have to be Teleflex? Just curious because I have no idea.....
 
I had 4 gauges that were clouded up. I was able to pry the Bezels off and polish the lenses with polishing compound. Now they look like new.
 
2 very small regular screw drivers. Work your way around. Be careful not to pry against the lens it cracks very easily. I cracked one.
 
If they're actually foggy (wet), set them out in the sun - that will clear them up and unless it leaves a noticeable haziness, you might be good to go.

As far as replacing guages... anything will work. There is nothing special to the gauges you have in terms of operation/function.
