Ive run into some trouble with my boost guage, the ferrules supplied are incorrect. Ive been down to tradelink didnt have much luck, anyone know of a shop in sydney that supplies ferrules/brass bits to assemble a pressure gauge.

Cheers

there should only be one of those tapered pieces at that end.


Basically yes

It should look like this, even though i have them pointing in the wrong direction in the first photo. They are incorrect size, 1 of the furules will not slid into the adapter because its too big.

Take it back to where you got it - or - if purchased secondhand, you will need to buy an autometer vacuum guage fitting kit. 8)

For my torana's i go to enzed, i have even managed to use a part that a friend got me from holden, but give Enzed a go.

I can recall that American Autoparts also sold the little ferrels at one stage, they are on Parramatta Road, Concord/Homebush.

I have taken it back, they opened up 3 other boxes of autometer gauges which also didnt have ferrules. I got those off another guy. The store will contact autometer and have them sent out however to stop my car looking like this for upto a week. Perhaps i can speed up the process, by purcahsing elsewhere.
