[Tigers] Correct gauges

[Will Seay]

Steve,

If you're looking for an aftermarket voltmeter, try this guy:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUNBEAM-TIGER-ALPINE-ROOTES-JAEGER-VOLTMETER/324038689489?hash=item4b723602d1:g:uygAAOSw5r9dzb4J

He has voltmeters that match the MK1/MK1A and MKII styles perfectly.
