Hello, does anyone know where I can get some new plastic covers for the original gauge? There are 2 of them on the sides of the gauge, both of mine have broken holes. Trying to get the old gauge going again, Thanks

As they only let the light in from the bulb maybe you could cut one out of an old soft drink bottle.

I went to Target. In the office department they sell plastic 9 X 12 expanding envelopes that come in colors (Light green) and also opaque. The plastic cuts with ease and you can punch holes in it. If any of the metal tabs are broken off a small dab of clear epoxy works, hold the end down with some scotch tape and remove when the epoxy is dry.

Ok, another question, got the tank cleaned out, gas/air sender was dirty, cleaned with light steel wool and brake cleaner, all tubes are open, what do you use to seal new gasket to tank?
