Replacement stock gauges are available from RA, listed under interior, I think.

Re: Gauge sizes
speedhut gauges... You can customize them how you want them, or if you can't find exactly what you need you can talk to them and they can likely do it... One guy on here ordered the backgrounds to replicate the firebird gage backgrounds (the square patterns).
And the price is pretty good too.

Re: Gauge sizes
Aftermarket gauges typically come in standard sizes.
Speedometer and tachometers come in 3-1/8", 3-3/8" and 5" diameters.
Other gauges come in either 2-1/16" or 2-5/8" diameters.
Some only come in a particular size depending on whether they're electric or mechanical gauges. The same goes for the needle sweep. Typically, electrics sweep 90-degrees; mechanicals sweep 270-degrees.
Just look through at a catalog (Autometer, VDO, Stewart Warner, etc.) and you'll get the idea. Avoid cheap aftermarket gauges. It defeats the whole purpose for replacing the stock gauges.
