A shop that specializes in the old speedometers should be able to cut
a new glass for you.
Problem is the crimp seal around the speedometer and tachometer (early
flat dash items). As they crimp is hard to open and close... and still
look great!
On rebuilding trick is to "open" the can of the speedometer, and install
three little tabs that then are retained by small screws. Allows access
to the internal parts without touching the crimp. In your case of little
help to replace the glass that way.
