Any Interest In SX 15404 Regulators?

Let's have some details then 
Had a thought about guages the other day. I bought two new ones for a job not long ago, admittedly cheap ones. They read differently, side by side, on the same service (mains water). So, as our cars are mapped using the pressure reading from whatever guage, don't just screw in a new reg + guage and set it to whatever pressure the old one read.
I'd suggest to 1) make a note of the reading in the old set up as is, 2) fit new guage to old set up and note reading. 3) Fit new reg with old guage and set to original pressure reading. Then 4) swap to new guage and see if there's any difference but don't adjust to old reading.
You could of course skip 2. But you probably know all this anyway

If i still had my old car i'd cheat and fit it along with something else and get Andy to remap me.
Gauge is as follows -
40mm Diameter
Copper Alloy Wetted Parts
Stainless Steel Case
Glycerine Filled
0-10barg Scale
1/8" NPT Connection (centre back mount)
They'd be £20 each.

That's me buying a few in and distributing them yeah.
I decided on 0-10bar as it would suit even the most extreme application. The gauge should read approximately 60% at normal operating pressure. Bearing in mind the SX is rated to 6.2barg max operating base pressure you already have 60% of gauge range there (before boost). Ok, i know very few cars run that much fuel pressure but i was thinking safer rather than sorrier.
I'll ask about 0-7bar and let you know.

Give us another week or so Gerry as my contact has gone on holiday... 0-10barg is no problem but need to check if he can do the same in 0-7barg.

Good news, 0-7barg/100psi dual scale gauges are available. Three week wait however so it'll be next time i'm home (beginning September).

For anyone who hasn't fitted their reg yet i now have some OEM FPR bypass adaptors available.
These are CNC cut to match the Phase 1/2 Standard regulator flange and anodised silver to offer some corrosion protection. A Viton o-ring is also used which won't break the first time you fit it!
£15.00 delivered.
