I used these guys when I did my gen1 dials altough I used there website not ebay . they can comunicate quite well in English.

things to note are , they had assumed it was for a USA spec car so the dials are in F not C not a big issue for me but you would want them right if you can so remember to tell them its a UK car and the temp type you want.

second was fitting , quite an easy job but take a photo of where your needles are sitting when you remove them so you can replace them correctly

other than those things have fun doing it.

Never used, and I don't have a clue on costs but http://www.reapautomotivedesign.com/ seem to have a good following on most forums.

Been thinking of getting a splash of colour into mine.
 
I'd recommend Julian at REAP,
not as easy as it sounds to change the dial faces.
you have to remove the needles and its easy to break a gauge
Whilst Julian might appear dearer initially, as his prices include fitting rather than just supplying the faces, it could be cheaper in the long run.

Plus his dials are just like the originals
