CC 782 Gas Gauge

My tractor has a gas gauge that is integral with the gas cap. However, the clear plastic cover has severe crazing (multitude of small cracks), which makes it difficult to read the gauge. I could live with this but the cover keeps popping out of the gas cap.
Is there a replacement for this clear plastic cover available?
I see that there are complete gas gauge assemblies available for my tractor. Any recommendations?

Cub Cadet 782 gas gauge parts diagram/number here:
http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=cub_ ... 0028600031Can't remember where I bought mine, but was the same as this one on Amazon:

Hope this helps.
P.S.
WARNING: A new gas gauge will not necessarily cause fuel consumption to decrease, you'll just be able to clearly see how fast it goes down.

Just seen this post. I don't know for sure if it will work but you might check the lenz out of one of thoes cheap plastic D-cell flashlights. They just might be about the same size.
