Ford Tractor Dash Replacement

The new dash came from All States Ag Parts. It's not an exact replica, but it's close enough. Ford dashes were a weak point on these tractors, but you can beat them to death elsewise and they'll keep running. The most annoying part of the new dash is the thickness coming out the back for the tach cable. It rubs on the fuel tank. The fuel gauge functions fine. The temperature gauge is a little off. Once the engine is up to temp, it reads Hot without the engine over heating. Both dashes do this. Maybe the sending unit on the block is not a proper match for the new gauge. The gauges work by variable resistance to current on the ground side.
The tach needle did calm down after 100 hours on both dashes, must be a "new" thing. I am not sure what other manufacturers offer a replacement Ford dash, but I wonder what the temp gauge does. I looked into swapping the old gauge into the new dash. It wouldn't fit.
