The ornamental design for a dial assembly for a gauge, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a bottom, front and left side perspective view of a dial assembly for a gauge showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevation thereof;

FIG. 4 is a right side elevation thereof;

FIG. 5 is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a bottom view thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the dial assembly mounted on a typical gauge for LPG use.

The broken lines showing a portion of a gauge and an LPG bottle are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
