Hopefully Gaffrig just sells the lens and card if you call them, because they don't list any individual parts for sale on their website, otherwise I'm having to buy a whole new one haha (which wouldn't surprise me one bit these days). |

throwback to the stone ages. I’m actually surprised it works how it’s designed. Scary
I think I'll buy one from Eddie Marine, way more color options then Gaffrig and looks identical at $289. Hardin/CP Performance is just a stupid amount of money more (over double) even for their mechanical ones. |

You used to be able to buy just the lens. If that's all you are trying to fix, I'd do exactly as boatnt mentioned. Take it out, and have a new piece of Lexan or whatever material cut to fit. You could even have it made out of a piece of glass, and as long as it's well cushioned, I think it would be fine.
The actual indicators that ride the back of the card are spring loaded. Be sure not to let them shoot out and disappear on you. It would be good to lay a towel down below your work area. |

Gaffrig Precision Instruments became Livorsi Marine Gaffrig Performance won the right to keep the Gaffrig name in a lawsuit. |

We yanked the whole unit out and went with the 3D gauges. Just an option for you.
