Sourcing gauges and latch

[OldToys]

I'm working my way through the many small issues with my 95 220 BR that I picked up a few months ago. I am down to primarily cosmetic concerns and need some help. The voltmeter and depthfinder gauges are both cracked. I've looked all around for a replacement for them and haven't been successful. Does anyone know of somewhere to get them?

I'm pretty sure on the depthfinder it's going to be ebay or nothing. I have seen the bezels available in a few places, but it doesn't look like they have my broken part in them, like it's the LCD itself that is cracked and the bezel just surrounds it.

My other idea on the voltmeter is to get a same size gauge and remove the crystal/lens/screen (whatever it's called on a gauge) and try to swap it into this one. Has anyone had any success opening one of these up?

As for the latch - The glovebox door keeps flapping open. Apparently the catch is missing. Flounder Pounder has it: https://www.searay-parts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=keeper-93-14-101-24 but there is a $25 min order and there's nothing else I need from them. I haven't been able to find just this piece anywhere else. Last resort is buy one of the lock sets that includes the latch and just toss the unneeded parts.

Thanks for any direction you all can provide.

Don't waste a dime on that Lowrance 3500 the transducer will probably fail soon if it hasn't already.
The volt gauge is 26 years old, so I wouldn't waste any time/money there either.
A new set of gauges will give you an updated look, will be much more reliable, easily installed and not that expensive in boating terms.
Check https://www.westmarine.com/ or the like for your latch and a new depth sounder.

I have that latch piece if you need.

I changed most of my plastic latches out for stainless ones a year or so ago.

Where are you located?

Unfortunately, a whole dash refresh isn't in the budget right now. Between a stereo, lighting updates, deferred maintenance, gelcoat patches, and a complete wet sand and polish, I'm about spent out for the first winter of owning the thing.

Both gauges function fine and the colors fit with the boat. I was just hoping that I'd be able to get rid of the cracks for aesthetic reasons.

Just down the road from you on Guntersville. I'd be glad to paypal you whatever for it takes to get it down this way. I'll pm my e-mail.
