I used a '54 Chevy oil pressure gauge by drilling out the rivets and swapping the faces with my old gauge, it looks factory and the needle color matched the rest.

For the temperature gauge, go to a large hardware store and buy a 1/2" male NPT to 3/8" gas flare female brass adaptor, and screw it right in to the hole in the thread. The gauge tube is a 3/8" male gas flare thread and seat. No teflon tape or sealer should be necessary.
