One detail that I forgot to mention was that I'd thought the folks at PA Speedo changed the background color of my speedo and tach from silver to gold in order to match the gold-hued center divider in the tri-gauge - this was not the case. They informed me that all three were originally painted in the gold hue, but the speedo and tach tended to fade to silver over time; they based this observation on an NOS set they looked at a few years ago. That explained it for me, as two silvers and one gold on the three gauges just didn't look quite right; I couldn't understand why Alfa would do that, except to again use whatever parts they had in the parts-bins.
