Panel that houses tachometer, to replace or repair?

The panel that houses the tachometer on this my Uncle's beneteau is starting to show its age, pretty much sun bleached, a little brittle, and now one of the mounting corners is cracking. Tach itself still works fine, but the whole panel feels like it's one good bump away from falling apart.
Anyone sourced a replacement lately or gone the repair route? I'm debating whether I should just reinforce it with epoxy and call it good, or swap the whole thing. Would appreciate any tips or part sources if you know about something like this

If the tachometer is still ticking, you'll be saved by some epoxy and a backing plate. That's your quick fix while still keeping the vintage vibe alive. But just in case you need a panel replacement, you could go get one from BoatClick or Palmer Power.
