Mercury Smart Gauge Lens Replacement
Can barely see the gauge data anymore. One lens has cracked and the other is so yellow and crazed it is unusable. I would rather not change the functioning gauge, but replace the cheap plastic lens -- anyone have any idea where to acq or replace them in North America? I scanned other forums with no luck.

Have you thought of polishing the lens with one of the kits for the plastic car headlight lens e.g. Shogun?

Could try 1500 grit wet/dry and Farecla G300 (It works very well on your GRP too)

As for the cracked lense I'm not really sure what you can do. I bought a second hand gauge when mine cracked.

Ours cracked, couldn’t find one for love nor money. The gauges are a fortune, we found a second hand one for £250!!!

Gauge
So I ended up sending the gauges to "GaugeSaver" in Florida - they look totally new... $175 US for two ... I'm pretty impressed. Recommend them!
