Thanks.

They are becoming difficult to obtain. I have a new one but not ready to part with it - sorry.

I've purchased from this firm before: http://www.pinzgauer-techshop.ch/elektrik.html
They indicate they have a new one in stock.

I've also purchased from this company and they were very easy to deal with: https://pinzgauer-ersatzteile.webnode.at

As these 24V gauges become more rare and hard to find, the alternative is to
switch to 12V. All my 710 dash gauges are 12V. It's not hard to make this conversion.
What I do is a mix and match. All bulbs remain 24V, then add a small 24v-12v DCDC
converter powered by the switched 24V (BTW adding a resistor in series is NOT a good
idea, completely unregulated and your readings may vary).

A 12V VDO fuel gauge that would correspond with a Pinz fuel sender is P/N# 301-107.
Tuned for a 90-0 Ohm sender (90 Ohms empty, 0 Ohms Full). Most Pinz's have a VDO
sender with a Warning contact that is left unconnected. You can connect this to a
lamp (or LED) to give you a more meaningful indication your running on reserve. I
picked one of these senders up at Europaspares in the UK, VDO P/N# 224-817-008-002R
