oil press one leaked from block end, looking at getting a new plastic or copper line kit for it.
otherwise great
Speco sell high pressure braided lines for their oil pressure gauges. I have the longest one in my commodore connected to a different brand gauge it's 5ft long and cost about $100. I don't trust electronic gauges and took one look at those flimsy, bendy copper lines and thought of oil leaking all behind my dash.
Mechanical gauges are illegal in the interior for this reason I believe. Don't skimp on things like that.

i had a speco boost gauge which didnt sit on zero!!! from what ive seen, they are cheap stuff, cheap built. if you want real accuracy I would probably look elsewhere.

Or on road.
kind of funny running joke, always see fulli sik vl autos with 5" monster taco's driving around, like it helps their auto box change gears
Like Steve said, alot of those VL's will run full manual valve bodied jatco autos and can be very potent without even looking it. If you said auto lancer's I would have agreed.
id agree with you, but , unfortunatly most are still autos, and even if they do manualise it, ya dont need a 5" display!
