Yes, the gauge face that Dave made for me is a wee bit off on the scale, but it's of no concern:
1) the dash tach is not suitable for tuning* in any case (divisions are too small for fastidious tuning), as it's scale isn't precise enough;
2) IMHO, the dash tach is only for shifting (i.e., a quick glance as you're watching the road while holding lower gear until you want to let it (viz., AW7_) shift up, and for this the slight inaccuracy of this gauge face is "good enough"; and
3) it's too nice looking to be worth complaining about (Thanks again, Dave, if you're reading this) -- I wouldn't hesitate a minute to get a set for my next 240.

* For servicing, I have a big tach, a 10 inch wide, high and low scale, tach (and other functions) that's nice to use when setting up my '84 (LH2.0). And you're right that my '93 doesn't have a user-adjustable idle -- it's totally under the control of the ECU; and according to my aforementioned "servicing tach", its idle speed is dead-on correct.
