I just pulled mine out and was astonished at how crappy of a design it is and how utterly difficult to remove it was. If the new digitals weren't so ungodly expensive, I would be converting.
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).

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.

I just got off phone with Gaffrig, they don't sell any individual parts, have to buy entire new assy. Mine has crazed lens like yours and I wanted to change the card color if I could, but looks like I need to buy a whole new one for $300.

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.

Yeah, but my card behind it was a bit ratty looking and wanted to change color anyways to match the rest of the new dash I was installing. Bit the bullet and ordered one with polished rim an platinum face (matches new gauges I am installing) from Eddie Marine this morning. At least they sell the individual parts if ever needed haha.
