Mini Guages...How small do they get?

[Skeet]

Peeps..I'm toying with the notion, of putting a Mini guage on the underside of the semi block on my Cocker (where the blank plug is), to read the input preasssure from my LPR (maybe as a temporary measure for setting up) if I decide to keep one there..will I look like a Pleb? Can you get smaller ones, than the 3/4 inch ish sized ones..ie a didy one that reads from 200 to 400 psi..or am I thinking wishfully?

not sure if it would fit on your marker,but i put a quick release fitting in the blanking plug on the back of my impy so i could plug a gauge in & check/set the lpr & then remove the gauge easily when done.
got the coupling with male end to go straight into marker so no adapter needed & the other part female to go straight onto gauge.

look on airpowered or pbnation about low riders.
seen a fair few examples of this. can be useful when needed, plus an extra bit of bling

I had ones on a couple of cockers I built a while back.

Only thing is the lowest gauge was 0-300psi which wasn't really that usefull for a 40-50psi measure, but I kept them on anyway.

Skeet... PM Dangerous Brian.. I had a long (well 2-3 minutes) and interesting conversation with him at the big game about the same thing.

I finally settled for a minireg measuring the output of my inline reg instead... He thinks it just isn't worth it for the small difference it makes. Gotta admit.. glad I didn't my cocker would have loocked pretty dire with one on the front block thinking about it now...

Definitely worth havin a word wi im tho.

You mean a mini guage on the Vert Reg (Black Magic in my case)?

yip.... that's the one. Gives me enough tuning where it counts. But then I don't have an adjustable lpr (mine is a sledge( Brian recommended sticking with that and not worrying about the slight fiddling that an adjustable one would allow.
