locost pressure guages

I'm looking for a fuel pressure guage and a boost guage for setup purposes (not permanent fit) As such I don't care what they look like so long as they work repeatably.

I was wondering if going outwith the car circuit would yield something cheaper? just a standard 0-5 bar guage or something?

Any ideas?

Cheers!

the blurb says


quote

This Bourdon Tube pressure gauge is an ideal choice for general purpose applications in any gaseous or liquid media that will not attack the copper alloy parts or obstruct the pressure system

as we run copper fule pipes is would say you will be fine

Those look ideal, have you tested it for calibration?
