Sure, I don't know what makes them the ones that all are compared against.

I doubt the CRT can be chromed. It has to be dipped in a nickel plating 1st, then dipped in the Chrome plating. I will ask tommorrow when I pick up my throttles though. I picked up an extra CRT unit a couple yrs ago. Was going to try to put it on my hyd steering, but figured it was just easier to go the dual in handle trim switch route. 1 for drives, other for tabs. This way I can hit both switches with my thumb for ease.

Why do you have 2 fuel gauges? I really like the looks of your monster gauges. I stuck with my regular setup, with just the white rims replaced with chrome ones. Looks 100x better. Classier.

This 35 has 2 tanks, where my 32 had a single. Damn that seems like a bunch of wire!

2 tanks = 2 gauges (in other words....twice the inaccuracies)

Did you check along the side where the harness goes back along the gunnel? My wiring diagram shows harness connectors for all models in 88 and 89. Has yours been re-rigged? I have seen stranger things before.
