Yes typical Ford parts, You are right and wrong all at once.

Two beautifully engineered splined steel pieces with a light and functional AL piece locked in between. Race car goodness at it's best just like the Ford stuff but this is made by Peterson Fluid Systems.

Speedhut (internals) is what Redline used for mine as well. I really like the idea of the integrated programmable warning light.

That being said, considering they have warning lights I think I would personally omit the red warning "range" on the dials for a cleaner look.

I keep going back and forth on that. May just leave the ticks and the numbers of the warning "range" red. It would be more subtle.

You probably don't need the warning ranges. It is a Ford so you shouldn't need them.

Personally, after trying to read the cool looking gauges in my Camaro, I would use big fat needle and put a warning range on the tach, and maybe put it on the oil and water temps as well. When you're flying down a straight, it is much easier to tell what RPMs your turning with a big red block on one side of the gauge. The red range blocks help to give you a point of reference so things are easier to discern, and (at least for me) requires less thinking when driving.

This may well be the highest quality best composed photo you've ever produced.



Nice components!
