Hey guys and gals I want to put an oil pressure gauge on my 2009 Ridgeback.
I can’t use one that mounts to the rocker box As it will get in the way of my leg. I already have issues with the air cleaner against my leg. So I’m thinking I want to do one that screws into the Tappit screen. I know I’ll have to use one that’s 0 to 60 PSI and not 0 to 100 psi. I seen one on one of Marky Marks videos and that’s kind of what I want to do. I just not sure What brand or what I should get as I’ve heard bad things about the ones leaking glycerin out of the plug That some of them have. I also don’t know for sure what fittings to get. Any input Where to buy and what to get would be greatly appreciated
THANKS

PS
Just another question I see Marky Mark has his own section how come all his videos are not on their he’s got some great DIY howto’s. A guy gets the advantage of his knowledge and some funny entertainment all the same time it’s awesome !!!!

Checked out Jerzee customs and I’m gonna go with one of their gauges and they’re 45° fitting but I’m still gonna need another fitting to go where the cap is over the tappet screen because the 45° fitting with 1/8” npt isn’t going to just screw In to replace the cap. So I’m thinking I’m gonna have to find a fitting that has the same thread as that cap and screws in to the same depth To hold the screen and spring in place and has an O-ring seal. I looked all over Jerzee customs site and couldn’t find one. Any suggestions? Looked on Derek And Donna‘s didn’t see nothing there either
