Its close enough for me.

And IMO, the interior paint was about as close as what I got from LoTek. Its 'good enough' for 90% of hte people and you won't really tell a difference.

Now, for the three gauges I am running
Top
Electric Water Temp
Middle
Mechincal Oil Pressure
Bottom
A/F gauge (which is going to gadgetseller soon to be 'adjusted')

All Autometer Phantom series.

For anyone else. IF you're going to buy an A/F gauge PLEASE don't waste your time and buy it "as-is" off the shelf. Buy it recal'd already, from www.Gadgetseller.com

He has all the popular lines of Autometer gauges already recal'd and ready to go.

RT at least is having his recal'd, but using one that comes off the shelf and reads from 0-1V is useless unless you like the blinky lights and don't really care about what it does.

Yup, got'em from JEGs. 2 1/16th.

Rule of thumb is..electric are easy to install, but not as accurate as mechcanical.
Mechnical are more accurate, but a bit harder to install. Probably mainly due to crimping the plastic tubing.

Just a note for those that care, going to gadgetseller does void the autometer warranty.

It's like that to ensure a tight fit. 1/16" is nothing.
