Smiths or SW
Many posts and references imply that the British built Smiths gauges were supplied on the original cars.
Wyss' book Shelby Wildlife says Stewart Warner was used after November, 63 - they were having multiple issues with the British electrical system
Reviewing csxinfo.net and photos I've obtained, it looks like they were predominately Stewart Warner. Yet the supposed replicas by Autometer copied the Smiths, not the Stewart Warner.
Was this a faux pa on their part, maybe not wanting to copy a competitors gauge or any other reasons?
If you were truly trying to replicate a 3000 series car, would plain old SW gauges be the better choice? Haven't seen much discussion on the gauges. We've analyzed everything else to the nth degree - or did I miss something
