A solid line plug with a very small hole drilled through it perhaps. If it turns out some gauges bounce more than others we should find the reason. Basically all the gauges used are the approximate ten dollar fluid dampened chinese one I suspect. Actually appears to be fair quality and value for what it is.
One of our Members did make a PVC Tubing Air Colum to stop the pulsating Gauge Needle. His comments may be in the DIY section some where.
They use a similar setup to stop the thumping (Watter Hammering) in you Water Pipes.

About 1.5 years ago I bought a lot of 3 Liquid Filled Gauges on eBay; and they are from China.
