My stock oil pressure gauge does not work. So I got a temporary cheap 17.95 sunpro mechanical gauge. After a hard look throw the packaging I was convinced that it had the proper fittings. Well I get it home and what do you know I was wrong. Ok my fault but I got it at a discount price throw a friend that works the counter, and I rather not return it after getting it dirty. (looks like a dog got to the packaging) So I was wondering if any ones else ran into this problem, and has found a solution's.

Thanks

Do you now if there is a hardware store I can get it in a hurry? Would they carry something like this? I need it asap. No one likes guessing there oil pressure.

no idea, bsp is a british thread so i imagine it wouldn't be too popular in the states. you'll never know till you go look though.
