Yes, the builder did a very good job. Correct details on the dash (ammeter/fuel gauge/water temp gauge) are good to see.

Cheers,
Glen

What were the original scale markings for the water temperature gauge?

The clock, arguably (comment, Dan?) is not exactly correct....

Your oil temperature gauge appears to be a different style to the oil pressure and water temperature gauges, is that correct?

Interestingly, your clock bezel appears to be 180 degrees different to the one on the car in question.

Rinsey Mills book "Original AC Ace & Cobra" shows the different styles for the gauges as per your car (or the one in your picture), but shows the clock bezel the same as the car currently for sale i.e. with the knob in the upper half.
