Default Faulty oil temp gauge sensor,where to get a replacement?

bought a v6 v ltd fitted with lamco gauges,the oil temp gauge doesn't work so I'm guessing it's the sensor,anybody know where to get a replacement?
Also the orange on the boost needle has got sun damaged and peeled off,can anybody restore them or point me in the direction to get a replacement?
Thanks,Lee

tbh i doubt you would be able to get individual replacements but you can always try the many breakers on here.

As above, you're probably best off starting again. I swapped some gauges over. It turned out to be a nightmare. We spent sooooo much time trying different methods and trying to work out if it was a faulty gauge or sender.

Christmas is coming, i'm sure if you've been a good boy and send him the links to Rspec or maybe a telephone number to mattybr at pole position for second hand he should look after you.

Not checked as such as if there's no sensor it won't work or if the sensor is broken I need a new 1 so in both cases I still need a sensor.
Been googling it and it seems everybody with the same gauges has the same problem and the sensor is n.l.a so if I want to know how hot the oil is I need a new gauge setup,but I don't think I really need to know so I'm just going to live with it.
