Do the new gauges fit in those same holes? Are you looking to try and keep things original? That 'dash' looks like a simple piece of sheet metal. Maybe consider replacing it to lay things out better?

My last 2 USPS shipped items did arrive, but late, with days of no available updates except that all services were overwhelmed and it was in transit.
Always has amazed me that UPS and Fedex can ship from same place to same place quicker.
USPS claimed covid, but is the others not affected?
Try to avoid the usps local delivery services from Fedex and UPS also.

Thanks to all for the advice and input, and thanks for your patience. I've been vacationing for the holidays, and I'm just now back to sitting at a desk where posting progress updates is easy. When I started searching for 25mm switches I came up with a good selection. I've attached a picture of the dash with new switches and new gauges. You can also see that I ran all the new stuff in plastic looms.

I wanted to give Diggin It specific mention since the suggestion to replace the whole dash is great out-of-the-box thinking. I may get to that later on because, like you said, it gives me the opportunity to lay things out better.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but try a pair of reducing washers.
