I know you guys (electronics gurus) like to try things around, but I'm not too sure this research, if conclusive, should be made available to the general public :-)
I mean, we all know that the needle should not deviate from the middle position, otherwise there's an issue (and a serious one), so if it deviates now people will start worrying when there might be no reason to.
Let's say the middle position is recalibrated for 90°, if temp goes to 95-97 then the needle would rise and people would worry, although it's perfectly fine to reach these temps on a KV6...
Furthermore the average operating temp varies from engine to engine (cooler on CDT than on petrol) and from car to car. So hard to calibrate for everyone to get a proper readout.
My guess is the Gaydon engineers had a perfectly valid reason to design it as is...
