Westach's prices are extremely high.

It may be justified for some.
My transition from the "pressed aluminum device" to something thought better was "appearance." Chrome is chrome and aluminum is aluminum, and although the couple of original ammeters in my hoard were "age apparent" I hoped to do better than the aluminum device.
As I said, the aluminum device was about $4 in 1990, and the thought better was $29.95. A big step for me - but the box was attractive and probably clinched the deal.
Today with inflation those prices are about double, with one seller on Ebay listing the exact "thought better and box" at nearly $150.
Caviet emptor on that one - perhaps they've solved the mis-fit in the dash?
It's always fun to pick up a dashboard at Epping Antique Auto Flea Market for $5 that shows its age, but includes the ammeter - which still works. I paint the escutcheon flat black and it ALWAYS fits.
