I put an adaptabolt on and just screwed an old oil pressure gauge (see 
http://padgett.ws/files/oilpressgauge.jpg ) that had the right fitting (1/8 
NPT). Told me what I wanted to know and do not need to see all of the time. 
Is twisted for two reasons:
1: pipe plug is on bottom of gauge and this rotation puts it as far from 
the belt as possible.
2: 30 psi is straight up and that is my reference point.

However with a 110/PG that is unlikely to exceed 4400 rpm, "some" is 
"enough" so do not need to fixate onnit. Am still trying to break the 
"Curse of the Jaguar".
