just don't drop them and you fill be fine.
when you are sanding them, make sure that the gauge face is flat on a table or something. and be sure to put a cloth in between the face of gauge and the table so you don't scratch it up. If you have a dremmel, probably best to use the larger sized narrow buffing wheel with a tiny but of cutting compound. Its puts hardly any stress on the face, is quick and very accurate. but you have to make sure you don't stay in the same place for too long otherwise you will melt it

You clumsy clumsy people!!
They aren't that easy to brake... Just don't bend them much. depending on how bored i get... how much money I want to waste and if I could be bothered to get some gauge rings made up, or buy some gauge rings. then i will probably do a detailed write up.... hmmmm... some brushed brass gauge rings would look wicked with the red in the cluster But I wouldn't hold on to the edge of your seats for it!
