Any suggestions where I can get an original/reproduced speedo and tach for my 58 bugeye sprite dash? I currently have smaller diameter units with back plates to take up the space. Does anyone know what the original I.D. size in the dash or the O/D. size of the original speedo and tach?
Thanks,

These things regularly show up on evilbay. For example:

I bought a pair of completely rusted units for $5 on evilbay and used the face plate, glass and chrome ring on a spitfire electronic tach. It fit right on though adjustment was necessary.
 
I have also used the innards from a newer unit in the old case and old faceplate!
