It will be "accurate". Just "proportionally" lower. Just mark the zones on the gauge so the operator can understand whats going on. I use automotive decal vinyl around the outer edges of the bezel it sticks to the glass real good. Operators don't always read the numbers on gauges right. Anything important like oil pressure, coolant temp, pyrometer etcetera get some green, yellow and red so the operator can tell at a glance what his status is.

No Bling Bling?
It's looking like a good straight clean install..... Just a minor suggestion from the peanut gallery..... On the step on surfaces polished stainless steel diamond plate. On all sides and bilge 1 mm mirror polished stainless steel. It makes wiping up messes real easy and sets every thing off.

BUT, good suggestions...
We've basically got 2 weeks to complete a "normal" 8 week build cycle....
