Bob,
In period I believe that Smiths did make an oil/temp/pressure guage for racing cars , you will have to use the dual guage you have found and use the water temp for oil temp instead , it can't bother the guage , temperature is temperature .
Tachometer , 8000rpm, depends what engine and specification of said engine , anything with a BDD/E/F/G series would need at least a 10,000rpm unit. Even a good all steel Twin-cam will go well past 8000rpm.
Yes , F. degrees would be period correct , but difficult to find unless you rob an MGB or MG Midget , Spitfire etc.
Bryan.
