I have a friend who made a very serviceable pointer for an RCA cut it out of a piece of galvanized sheet metal and he was able to make the fold in top of pointer by bending it over a square metal rod, like he formed it, then it would run over the top of the piece under the dial glass. Painted it with Rustoleum Red 3 times lightly and you know it was OK.
He made a pattern out of heavy paper before he cut it out with tinners snips. The pointer itself was a bit wider than he would have liked but he could not get it too thin with hand tools. So unless you know someone who has a big box of old parts and junk to go through it looks like a You Do It job. You may surprise yourself.
Good luck.
