Oil Pressure gauge.

Accurate oil Pressure gauge wanted 0 to 15 psi. One that doesn't jump around like Zebedee on acid. Prefer a good quality glycerine filled one that screws into oil gallery. Any recommendations ?.

Any idea where to buy one ?. Had a stainless one made special for the drouin which was working fine until my little outing and now it's gone bananas.

Went to a local hydraulics supplier who got two made at trade price. £25 each. One of them came not reading zero so i got a refund. The other was fine until the other day . Still reads pressure but is erratic (clearly not up to the job of handling the vibes and heat) . Obviously its just for visual piece of mind as every thing is fresh built and the Z oil pumps very rarely give any trouble.

Sorry mate I meant the one from the states that piggy put a link for. thought postage would be better deal for two or more, I have always fancied one as with my cooler take off I got no oil light

I've requested a quote for the 0-15psi gauge with elbow and will let you know soon as I hear anything.
They tried telling me there was a minimum order qty of 25 though
Regs, Will.

Right. Got a reply from them but they will only sell me a job lot of 25 for $500 (inc. shipping).
If we can get a list up of 25 potential buyers then we can do something about it.
Thoughts please gentlemen
The ones I would spec are black (as below) but with a 0-15psi readout. They are also glycerin filled and have a full stainless rim and back.
I would imagine Mark is very chuffed with his

BF, cheers, I would have 2 as well, I didn't realise it would be a 25 min order, but lets wait and see who is up for it, I thought it would work out cheaper with shipping, what about import duty ? that works out cheap as chips, but then there would be postage at this end.
I take it you are willing to do the order, If you need cash I can help out (not saying you'r skint but £300 odd ? credit crunch an all that) The offers there.

Me x2 Thats 7 now
