RE: Air pressure gauge - Zetomagneto - 30-09-2020
Sorry Dave, another red herring

This is on Amazon in US, so has an NPT connector. Face looks reminiscent of the David Harcourt gauge. There is a Kodiac version that looks identical, but presumably has better internals at twice the price.

Too high a range Michael,10 psi full range would be max.
I bought a low pressure gauge 2",new modern industrial type off Ebay a while ago with the intention to convert but it would be nice to come up with an original gauge similar to the rest I already have if possible.

I used a standard A7 one on an oil drip feed on a 1898 Panhard. The pump came from a paraffin lamp and the rest I made from copper pipe, sheet and brass fittings. The gauge between the air reserve and the oil tank. The first I made with 2 pumps worked but needed more attention. 2 Brighton runs no problems. Pete
I should have said standard oil pressure gauge. Pete

I found a suitable smiths 5 psi oil gauge to convert with a good face. However Greg Clarke has produced an excellent 0-5 reproduction too as would be fitted to Bentleys etc.
RE: Air pressure gauge - Robert Foreman - 21-10-2020
Later 0-5 Smiths gauge put into an earlier casing with new face.
RE: Air pressure gauge - Austin in the Shed - 21-10-2020
Looks very good.How did you do the face,Robert ?
RE: Air pressure gauge - Robert Foreman - 22-10-2020
Tony B can supply a face which you can colour to suit your other instruments.
Or you can print your own on coloured paper.
If anyone knows a good screen printer who would be prepared to make small batches I would be very interested.
