Default Fix speedo/tach lens on a 1979 ?

Hello!

Is it possible to replace a broken speedo/tach lens with some acrylic glass/pleksi glass? Or is it easier to buy a new part?

It would be much easier to replace your lens with a new one due to the curve in the lens. You could always give making your own a try just to see if it works, but a plug-n-play replacement with new would really be the way to go.

If you do try making your own (and it works) maybe you would consider posting your results here for other to see? Just a thought...
