Decent LPR gauge?

[rkjunior303]

I'm looking for a decent 0-100psi guage for my Cyborg's LPR tool.. I was going to order another MacDev gauge but they're sold out... Is there an online Ashcroft dealer? Palmer's has what I need but they're $25 -- I can't believe something like a gauge is $25, especially when McMaster has comparable ones for $8.00 (although the connector isn't brass).

Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks bud. I'd definitely like to get something with a little better accuracy than 5%, which is what most normal gauges are.. I feel like I need something a little better when trying to set an LPR.... 5% of 100psi is a +/- 5psi push -- which is kinda huge if you ask me.

Short of a liquid filled gauge I doubt you are going to get that...

[rkjunior303]

supposedly the ashcroft gauges are 2%... McMaster has some that are 1.5% but they're a ABS 1/8'' NPT, not a brass.

Have you tryed calling up PBK and asking them? Smoke should have something--

05 or 06 Borg?

[rkjunior303]

it's an 05 borg. I mean, I could always settle for one of the min-gauges but I wouldn't mind something a little more accurate. i'll see how this thread pans out today and if nothing really concrete comes up, i'll give him a call.

why do you need the connector to be brass? just order the one from mcmaster. the threading is 1/8 NPT, itl be fine, and its under $10 anyway. the only thing id worry about is the gauge being too big, because its 1 1/2".

ashcroft gauges are good but expensive, so that would explain why its $25. but then again +- 5% isnt too bad, since there will be that much difference just in how you lube your borg, and it will still show you the pressure relative to where it was at last. my guess is the gauge that was on there before wasnt any better than +- 5%.
