Most glass shops should be able to make you a new one and they are great for replacing outside rear view mirror glass too.

I believe the gauges in the Darrin are same as those used in the 1949-51 Frazer. Here are some photos -

Don't know if you'll be able to tell from these photos but maybe they'll help.

Thanks, but the lens are convex.  My local shops cut only flat.
