The reset/adjustment knob is held in with a very small screw (requires a small straight blade screw driver or perhaps a small hex head wrench)

You should contact some of the gauge restoration companies for the gasket and clips. The gaskets can be made relatively easy but I have no idea where you would get the clips. Just google "mopar rally instrument cluster restoration"

You can see the small "barrel screw" in this picture. I've only ever seen them as a flat head (never a hex). A jewelers screwdriver goes down the center on the knob.
