£2 for the guage and £4 for the fittings?? but still cheaper than a pair of glasses

Cool !! Just bought a load of top quality, brand new, stainless internal, laminated glass, 6" gauges off ebay for not alot, 7, 10 & 16 bar. Also, on it's way is a Budenberg, 12", 20 bar, master test guage in it's wooden carry case !! Don't really need it but at the price it would have been rude not to have it !!

PS, does the reading of the large gauge agree with the one on the reg ?

the small ones tank pressure the larger one is regulated so will only be the same if reg is fully open and acurate

when the regulator is open full they do read the same yes. the small guage is no good as it only goes to 100psi i'll swap it when i get time. i've another guage on the tank but it's only a little squinter. need one about 4" to replace it

Am liking the expression "squinter"

Should a 6" be called a 'high vis' ?!

you were lucky to find some on ebay i've been looking for ages

Just got lucky really, although they do turn up now and again. The price you paid for that one is mad though !! Crappy placky squinters cost that on the bay !!
