Send him an email. From the looks of them they're copied from standard clocks. He might be able to make one up. :ok

Back together with needles painted. The blue led dash lights I fitted over a year ago have some UV output so the needles should glow at night.Image

How difficult is it to remove the instrument cluster & clocks etc? That looks really smart!

Very easy. But be careful because the plastic is VERY brittle.
Remove the speedo cover by putting you fingers over the clocks and pulling up and towards steering wheel. Should just pop off. And you'll see your brake/ clutch fluid reservoir.
Remove the for screws at each corner of instrument cluster.
Remove speedo cable, this can be tricky.one was a plastic squeeze fit so you have to squeeze the tabs and pull out.
Then you can remove the instrument cluster and take in doors. :ok
That's a quick guide a Haynes manual will be more in depth or there might be something in the wiki too.

I copied this from the wiki.

Instrument cluster removal: Pull the instrument panel off and remove all the wiring. There are 4 Phillips #2 screws holding the plastic tab of the instrument cluster. Be careful, these tabs can get brittle with age. They will break and shatter. Wiggle your hand behind the speedometer and unclip the spedo cable. Just squeeze the connector and it will come out. Next pull out the switches by pressing the tabs to release them from the cluster. The cluster should lift out and remove the big wire connector plug. This will provide you room to get under the dash board. Put the cluster in a safe place that you will not sit or lay other components on.
