    Where can I find large diameter gauges?

    Im looking to build a reg tester set up and I wanted to use something besides tiny micro gauges. I liked the old Air America style that were a good inch in diameter. My vikings lpr tester has a 2 inch diameter gauge and I love it because its more accurate than the small style and easier to see.

    Where can I find gauges like this in say 0-100, 0-1200, and 0-4000 sizes.

    Have you tried Air America's website? What about Crossfire?
    Those would probably be good starting points.

      Check out www.winters.ca email their US office to find a dealer close to
      you. You will be VERY pleasently suprised at the price of a good quality
      gauge that does not have a paintball company logo on it.

        Probably not, unless it was liquid filled. Talk to an industrial supply shop, a welding gas shop, scuba shop, or some such in your area, they could probably tell you

            The AA gauges are made by Ashley. I had a hard time finding anyone that carried that size. it was special order only and in bulk quantities.

            It is easier (and cheaper) to buy the gauges from AA.

            The only increase in accuracy you will find is that it is easier to read, that doesn't mean it's right.

                I've had really good luck getting gauges directly from them.

                    Whilst it is nice to have tools that you have made yourself, Air America already make the perfect tool for the job called the Guardian. I would have given you a link but their website is currently being updated
