Not too hard!

You managed it in the end though?

Gauge looks sweet, bet it looks mint at night?

yeah wasnt too bad just used some old plastic boost hose and curled it so it naturally pointed upwards . :idea: after i scraped me arms trying to get hold of the speaker wire i used that was just far enough away for me to stroke with my fingertips!!!

It does look nice at night but it works in the weirdest way, maybe its cause i aint got a restrictor ( will get one although the tip of an old pen may fit... :P ) or its that progressive boost but it goes to 5psi then stays there a bit then rises to 8????
at least i know its boosting!!!!
Thanks for the comments guys !
