For all I know, all TRs with an ammeter use a Lucas unit. My car, which
appears to have original gauges, sports a Lucas ammeter. The rest are
Jaeger.
As for your temp. gauge, see if you can swap the bulb inside it for one of
a lower wattage (less bright). Or, if you can pull apart the gauge, paint
the inside with a less reflective paint than what's in there.
