Several, including Mo-Ma, Nisonger, West Hollywood Speedo, Van Nuys
instruments, etc. But I would think it would be a lot cheaper and quicker
to just pick up a used unit. Eg,

unless you particularly want an "as new" unit for shows or whatever.

It's a standard size hole, so almost any 2" (or sometimes called 2-1/16")
aftermarket gauge will fit and work fine. Sun, VDO, etc. One of my TR3As
came to me with some aftermarket ammeter in the dash, Cal-Van or something
like that. Looked ugly to me, so I promptly replaced it with a Lucas. It's
still in the parts bin, you can have it if you want.
