Brian,

I'm amazed that none of the instrument repair companies can't fix your 
gauge.  You have the Smith's motorcycle gauge expert very close to you.  
I don't recall the name, but may be able to find it.

Another trick is to find a similar gauge that works from a different car 
and swap the face from your gauge.  I did that over 50 years ago to the 
safety gauge for my MG TD and it has worked well ever since.

Charlie
