I say repair or fabricate! Epoxy via elastic reservoir molding or in a pinch, epoxy reconstruction does a beautiful and resilient job. It's easily done if you have some time and patience and you'll have the basic principles for making rings, loaded dice, obscene paperweights, etc in the process.
This
is a basic walkthrough of the principles you'd use in epoxy fabrication. If you just want to reconstruct, clean your pieces very well, do a light 120 sand on the piece, build it up with epoxy and shape it back to where it needs to be. I wouldn't depend on it forever (well, I might but that's just me) but it would be a quick fix and about as cheap as you could get.
Have you considered using the excuse to pull all the gauges and upgrade to
digital
? You'd probably opt for new magnetic sending units. The price may be prohibitive but done right, it'd sure look snappy.
