Can anyone recommend a good pressure gauge for checking pressures on trackdays? Seen these on ebay, are they any good or is it worth paying more for something a bit better?

This is what I use when at work, ok not cheap, but there's a good selection here which is better than any ebay tat you can get, and will be correctly calibrated by a engineer, not some random in China.

A selection is here http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorspor ... durometers with some around the £35 mark which should be far better than anything on ebay.

Thanks for the link, plenty to choose from on there :)

Think I'll probably go for one like this one unless advised not to:

The ebay stuff looks shite, the one I linked to was probably the best of a bad bunch!

This is really good, but on the large size, seems to be as accurate as the best of them.
