    gauge fitting

    hey everyone. Got a never been used but older EGT gauge to fit to the 4WD to make sure I don't cook the bloody thing.
    Cheap enough but its missing the part I'd imagine.
    Soooo after a compression fitting to suit a probe 1/8" wide. 1/8th npt or bsp thread
    been doing a little looking and some are hideously priced. Im not paying 70 bucks for one.
    Some seem down to the 15 buck mark which is a bit better.
    any of the car gurus out there have a particular supplier (or maybe an old good one in the toolbox) they can recommend?
    Cheers

    Yes second the use of Auberins EGT guage.
    Have fitted many, and never had a failure.

    There was someone buying them and reselling on TM but they were putting a huge markup on them.

    I hear you on that. Had the truck 4 years now. Couple more days wont hurt lol
    A fitting that's up there makes the gauge way more expensive than I hoped.
    I've a also had a cunning plan.
    We might just have these at work
    Head down tomorrow so I'll have a ferret around there

    Those boys will be sure to have something. And they're in your town
