ABSOLUTELY TRUE!  :-)

It's a pet peeve of mine, too... and I've played with the gauges long 
enough to prove it :-).

It's too bad noone makes a good windage tray for the T1.  T4's were all 
designed to have one as stock, and some vehicles (914 and IIRC 411/412) 
got them.  Nice pieces... makes a deep sump kinda useless.

Take care,
