Autometer gauges

I'm running autometer phantom gauges and a covan classic dash bezel. Found everything on ebay, slightly used, but whatever it works. And I didn't pay an arm and a leg for this. I took sometime to find them, but it is worth it!

Does the Covan bezel angle the gauges up to the driver? I put my Auto Meter gauges on a Aluminum bezel, but the one thing I didn't like, the gauges faced down a little, you could still read them, I would like them to face up like the stock gauges do.
