Why not have a new glass cuted ? You can try to ask a glazier or a clockmaker.

I had exactly the same problem with my tacho. A glazier can do the job for you, no problem. make sure you don't make the hole in the middle too big... Mine was and I glued the needle at the point I wanted it to be, so I can't adjust it anymore...
Aww, you got a cylinder head temp also, I'm jealous!!!!!

I have a VDO Jet cockpit tach that is cup mounted vs dash mounted. I am sure the glass is the same. It was is the Radical Rod car when my brother bought the car as a street car. It worked when we pulled it out and put in a Autometer back when we were pups, if you end up needing one let me know and maybe we can make a deal. It has been stored in a dresser drawer forever.
Thanks,
Larry

Good Choice of guages dude - It took me a while but I have all 10 gauges
(inc 2 cylinder head temps!)
The speedo's and tacho's come up on ebay quite often, its the others you will have trouble finding - its worth checking under "Bradley GT" kit cars as they had them fitted as stock
see what I've got here:

Here is the Jet Cockpit tach I have, it is cup mounted and was mounted to the top of the dash of a 67 bug, many years before monster tachs arrived.....Might be interested in selling.

Thanks, I always liked the jet cockpit gauges. I found Autometer makes a tach now that has a chrome case and short sweep like the old ones and has a retro Autometer logo in it. I bought one this spring and mounted in my 58. It looks like an old one, I like it a lot.
