I assume you mean the 1954 version (and later) of the 235 (full pressure
engine). And while you are correct that they used a 0-60 gauge, it was a
dished out gauge versus the flat face in the pre-'54 AD years. I THINK this
gauge would work (I have one but never tried it in the cluster), but its
appearance would IMHO stand out from the rest of the gauges.
