My new original style replacement oil pressure gauge sure looked nice but upon fastening the brass fitting and line, the slightest tightening of the 1/2 inch fitting snapped off the brass housing off the rear of the new gauge. Looks like the JB weld or whatever mickey mouse method of assembly did not hold up. Upon inspection, I would be afraid to use it. I am thinking I want to keep it for looks in the panel and mount a "real oil pressure gauge" that will use the same hard line and fitting. Something I can mostly keep low profile. Has anybody got successful recommendations. This $60 buck repop gauge was wasted money. looks like the fitting plate on the gauge literally was held on with a tiny spot weld. Thanks Ralph
