Were to get a 1 1/2" dia 15 psi panel mount 1/8" back connection for a decent price.
There is none to be found on fleebay,they kill one on the freight anyway,..i mean $23-35 shipping for a $10-20 gauge:rolleyes5:

I found one on the web but they don't ship to a PO box:rolleyes5:

Anybody?

I have one of these, but its 2" and 1/4" connection.

Also have a few of these (my favorite). SS housing, 63mm dia 1/4" connection, Has 0-15 PSI the green area starts at 2.5 PSI to 13 PSI. From 13PSI to 15PSI its red, so it is about perfect for the 6.5's and its also got Vac reading 0 to 30 inhes Hg
DSCN3355.JPG I got a better picture if you want it.

Both can be panel mounted.
 
I have a 2" gauge on the shelf Leroy,i have no trouble finding 2 inch gauges.
2" won't fit in that 2 x 3" flat right next to the lights switch and there is were i want to put that gauge.
A 1 1/2 gauge(mechanical) will fit nicely there and leaves enough room for an extra glow switch beside it.

BTW it prob works perfect but I don't like that gauge you got stuffed in the ashtray.
My wife wants it nice and tidy in her truck.

:hihi: That was temp set up. Great for finding some fuel issues while driving. Bad thing about the mechanical gauge it if the hose breaks you'll never get that diesel smell out.

Thanks for posting it bud.
But this one has no bezel flange and U clamp and is therefore not panel mount.

I know,i'm fussy.

I actually found and bought one today on fleebay..its for a harley davidson. $30,-.. including freight.

I don't know how to insert a link.:dunno:
Not sure if he has more of them,.. type this in the fleebay search box,.."liquid filled oil pressure gauge 0-15 psi-midnight black face-harley davidson".,...it may get you to the right listing.
 
Simon, right click the address bar at the top, then in the window that comes up click Copy. Then in the reply box right click and click Paste. It's just that easy.:D

You may have created a monster :speedtype:
 
The cheapy ones last a long time as long as you put them on a hose and put a snubber in the line to prevent the needle from fluttering,..don't bolt them to the engine(it does'nt do ye much good to put a gauge under the hood anyway)
 
It helped me in finding out that the OPS had failed. And when I went through a few from the dealer it helped to know the pressure at the time. It gave out shortly after I had got a good one. Still they are just crap.:thumbsup:
 
i got the gauge i ordered on fleebay and put it in the dash,there was enough room to put a extra glow switch beside it.
How does it look?
