Genius -exactly the same plug! Off to find my soldering iron... Thanks a million.

Well... the electrical gauge is fitted (seems to read slightly lower than the mechanical one) but was easier to fit and meant I could dispense with the numerous (leaky) brass reducers etc required for the mech one to work alongside original pressure switch. Will probably flush and replace with...

Thank you all, Guilty as charged, all readings in Bar. So much for A level physics! (it was a long time ago). I agree about the permanent gauge. Currently the tube from the temporary one runs through a large hole above the transfer box where the centre cubby box and backing plate usually live...

Thanks chaps, According to the mechanical gauge I have just installed (using various bits of brass to get the available one to fit along with the original switch) and which seems to react quite slowly to any changes, I have 3 to 3.5 psi at cold idle, rising to 4 to 4.5 psi at 3000 revs...
