Get the PM Research gauges and remove the plastic cover and make brass ones.
That's what I did.

I'll see if I can find some pictures.

A good place to buy all sorts of model gauges .
I just bought some gauges from them good pricing , price stays the same for all pressure ranges from the info they sent me .
1"OD without flange = $36US
1"OD with flange =$47US.
1 5/8" OD without flange = $36US

They maybe the company that makes the actual gauges that a lot of suppliers sell ?

I could only fine a front view with the gauges mounted on a manifold.

Just curious, what is the intended purpose for a 0-15 psi?

If you are by chance measuring propane burner pressure: Since low pressure gauges tend to be expensive I place a needle valve between the gauge (25 psi) and the burner and close the needle valve until I have a usable reading (11-12 psi) when the burner is at full usable fire. I really don't care what the pressure is at the burner itself, just a relative reading.

Mine is an oil eater. I installed a pressure regulator in the atomizer line before a linerier valve. There is a 0-15 PSI gauge in the atomizer feed line, but it is a silver and black 1 1/2" gauge. Butt ugly !

So I want to replace it with a brass cased 1/2" face, 0-15 gauge. The atomizer works best at about 7 PSI. Could use a 3/4" if that is the best I can find

Emfinger:
What pressure regulator and linear valve did you use?
I wish to install the same in the atomizer line on my steamboat boiler.
