I had VDO "Cockpit" oil pressure and voltmeter gauges in the 83 for some time, and thought they were an excellent match for the look of the gauges in the instrument cluster. This was in '84 or so, but egauges.com still list them.

I had the proper snap-in bezels, but no rubber feet to secure the gauges, so just wrapped them in layers of vinyl electrical tape until they were a gentle force fit into their receptacles.

The VDO "Vision" gauges are close in appearance to the Cockpit, but use a larger light bulb to illuminate - I think a #194 or similar wedge-base.
