I am posting production pictures as these are the first that are coming up. We have several OEM Manufactures interested in gauges that we are trying to get out so bear with me as the final Pics of the gauge in the dash will be last posted.
We have made adjustments in moving the face of the gauge closer to the glass just as a note which helps in the older look style.
As you can see in this picture our gauges maintain state of the industry accuracy control through an on board processor in each gauge. Something you will only find in very high end gauges. We a giving a lifetime warranty on our boards and processors something you wont find at DELL 
With other Cobra Gauges that are mechanical ,usually not expensive and pretty accurate over time, the teeth wear out and produce meter movement and the gauge tube begins to occillate, making the needle move around loosley under vibration and gives you a false reading under load.
Our gauges are all electric 270 degree sweep using stepper motors unlike the cheaper 90 degree sweep gauges using a offshore aircore canister meter movement that uses a inductive /magnitism to move the pointer. No circuits, processors nothing but cheap internals...found in other Cobra Gauges on the market today

We are contract manufacturing our own boards and populating the board right here in Provo Utah. Not in China |

In the finished gauge photos you will notice the absence of the Kirkham KK which is an option and the removal of LED turn signal indicators as well. Shallower dial placement as well

I am in Salt Lake City today and went to see the Kirkham shop and saw these gauges live. Wow, they look much better in person than on the pictures. I was on the fence, but now I like them! I like them with the Kirkham emblem and writing but without the turn signal and high beam LEDs. They are all electric and the wires are so neatly run to the engine compartment and have all the propoer connectors on them. Very nice!

Yeah Its really hard to relay a how crisp and sharp these look in the Cobra dash in a two dimensional picture. Lit up or in person the three dimensional aspect really takes hold. The look is really clean and best of all they are accurate.
Guys these are really nice once you see them in person installed....you'll see its like everything else Kirkham Engineering does

Nice looking gauges, Rick! Do the oil and water temp come with sending units and wire to do a complete install? |

Here is a ruddy shot of original Smiths guages vintage 1960...at that time they had the two tone look going, during restoration I removed all these guages and overhauled them as well as cleaning the faces, the rest I polished out or had rechromed. The combination guage on the left was a tricky one to get operating correctly.
