I'm not disclosing that info as the seller was very sorry for the problem and promptly refunded my purchase. They say the quality problem is now resolved. The red tach face was brown with nighttime lighting and the translucent areas of the face were very dim.

On eBay. It comes as a complete kit for all the gauges, I just used the tach bezel. It's plastic with the brushed aluminum look but done well. Looks like aluminum. I chose the brushed aluminum rather than the chrome choice. It visually integrates with the bezel of the sport chrono clock. Very inexpensive.

FWIW I had red ones on a GT3 and hated them before long. Too hard to see at night and the red just got old.

Somebody said red guages? These are factory installed on 7sp manual for reference. I haven't had any issues reading them. At night, the red looks black
