No Stewart Warner gauges used on regular production 69/70 Shelby.

Original 1969 gauges are made by Faria. They are in a steel housing and have a separate “cup” for the light socket.

To add the assemblyline gauges have a very dark gray background while later service replacements and repros have a black background. dark gray on the left. They are very close.
