Joe.
Ray, they're really not that hard to find. I just called Simco and talked to a very nice lady in sales. :)
There's no minimum quantity.
Here's their price breakdown:
1 - 9: $22
10-49: $16.50
50-99: $11.00
100-249: $8.80
250-399: $7.15
400-599: $5.50
She had more breaks, but I figured that would be enough. :)
The unit I asked for pricing on is the 2022-709 and the data sheet can be found here: http://www.simcoaftermarket.com/assets/pdf/simco_2022-7XX-G.pdf (http://www.simcoaftermarket.com/assets/pdf/simco_2022-7XX-G.pdf)
FYI, I just placed the order for my OLED/Air-Core driver boards from Osh Park. As soon as they let me know they're off to manufacturing, I'll order the L293DD drivers from Mouser.
I still have some work to do on the printed gauge core, but that shouldn't take long to wrap up.

Thanks Joe but I am SO done with 'making things' :-) I'm not getting any younger so having these things pre-built makes a big difference. Opportunity cost..
