I'm replacing the plastic fuel/tach/speedo lenses on my '74. Any thoughts on whether to go glass or stay with plastic?? Also, anybody on the board selling new replacements??

Is the glass flat? I thought they were dome shaped. Anyone can cut a circle in glass. That is easy. I would also like to replace mine.
