Does anyone know an online source to order dash gauge gaskets? I need some for 2 inch gauges. These are the rubber gaskets that seal the gauge to the dash. Some of the gauges I've bought had them included, and some don't. I'm having a hard time knowing what to search for. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I've never seen a gasket under a gauge. Usually they just fit up against the dash and are held there by tightening the nuts on the clamp.

Put a very small bead of black silicone
around the edge and wipe off any excess.
I've also made a string sized roll of
plumbers putty and did the same. For those
who scratch their heads on this, it's to
water proof the gauges backsides. Some of
the gauge clusters are verrrrry expensive
to rebuild or have rebuilt. One tractor
show not far from me, that lasts four days,
has rain almost every year.

Find an O ring assortment and get a thin O ring that will fit the gauge.

Look on a seal supply website.
Hydraulic cylinders sometimes use a flat rubber ring as a back up for an oring seal.

I appreciate the replies. I was wondering if there was some specific thing I needed to search for, but it seems there is not. It's not a huge deal even if I don't use them, but 3 of the 6 two inch gauges came with the flat rubber gaskets so I figured why not have them on all of them if I could get them.
This is just a regular old tractor that sits outside a lot. The gauges aren't that expensive, but they are a pain to replace. And I'm not too keen on water running behind the dash. I'll just look for some o-rings that fit.
Thanks
