Are the reproduction engine gauge feed wirings concours correct or should an OEM be located?

I picked up a set from NPD made by Alloy Metal Products and was so happy with them.  They looked and functioned as they should, and also purchased a set of Engineering number tags from ECS to add to the new harnesses and really think the entire thing looks as good as the day it left the San Jose assembly plant.  I would give both the wiring and the tags my blessing!

Does this one look correct? I have seen some that looked different, I know the hookup part is red.

I think they are very nice but the plug ends are slightly different when compared to originals. It is mostly because of the mold lines. It is hard to find a Ginny where the white wire hasn't degraded or the white hasn't started to flake off the wire. Bob
