Fuel Gauge Retaining Ring

Dear All: The BettyAnne is coming along well. I am looking for retaining rings for the fuel tank. Please see attached picture. It is 2 1/8" OD and 1 11/16th ID. It has 20 threads per inch. It screws into the throat of the tank and holds the fuel gauge in place.

My machine shop can make them, but I wondered if anyone had a source. I've tried every bearing house and fastener shop in Dallas with no results.

I am also looking for a fuel tank gauge - see attached photo. Who is the best at restoring these gauges?

Best wishes!

Don Hoke
