Restore intrument Cluster?

I received my Tach Cluster yesterday. It's in decent shape. I haven't tested it yet. The needles are faded and a couple of tabs are busted.

I was thinking I could either swap the needles from a couple of parts clusters I have here or repaint them Dayglo Orange. How do I remove the needles without breaking them?

I think the white plastic housings are different for tach and non tach clusters, are they? If they are I was thinking I could glue the tabs on from a parts cluster. Any glue recommendations for that?

They yellow and red sections that indicate the "danger zone" are faded also but I can live with that for now, since It's a diesle the true "danger zone" will be a good 2 grand before that anyway.
