I was part of that group buy sale for the tuna/taco plate kits, and now it's time to install. I had purchased this VDO sender/gauge kit off of eBay, and I'm trying to turn my fuel gauge into a combo gauge. The problem with the eBay kits is that the gauge face is circular. My wonderful uncle has spent many hours taking measurements and putting this onto a CAD program. Around 1 am last night, he texted me asking if I wanted any color on this gauge face, and if so what temps for what color. This picture didn't convert correctly, and isn't at its highest resolution, but it gives you an idea. Before I have this made, are the colors in the right spot, and or accurate representation of my 1.8?

I'd recommend your red area start about 240 and yellow about 230ish (+/_)

Anything over 220 should be of concern ...
