autometer sport/comp, maybe not as accurate as more expensive ones but they matched the inside well.

only on ebay when they are available. I got my 60mm oil temp and boost gauge. They are identical to factory color gauges and even the white needle.

No, mine were from a private seller about three months ago. I know which ones you are talking about. Those sold for pretty high. I paid 150 for mine together.

I know! They were a little faded and chipped around the rim so I masked off the glass and painted them flat black. They look GOOD.
