My S-2A has the typical Rochester gauge for fuel quantity. The problem is the the gauge is hard to read due to the slim font of the markings. Has anyone heard of this being a problem?

It has been a long time since I have been in an S-2A but I seem to remember bolder markings that were easily visible from the rear cockpit. Does anyone know the part number of the gauge itself (not the Aviat p/n), I'd like to try to source a different/newer/better gauge for the S-2A application.
