Replacing M38A1 dash gauges

None of the originals worked, except the voltmeter. I replaced them all with new ones from Kaiser-Willeys. The new ones essentially look like the ones I put on my CJ7 years ago. Plastic an rubber backing instead of the metal with the lock in bubble connectors. What is the main difference (are the old ones more durable, and/or waterproof), and does anyone still make the old ones?

Most of the new gauges are not that great and may leak but if it gets the Jeep on the road then I'm all for it. I have an aftermarket mechanical oil and temp gauge I picked up with the Jeep and they work for now. I'm ready to switch over when I get some extra cash.
