Under the hood - Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation
To install a gauge inside the car will require an isolator & #4 hose or an electronic gauge.
Never run a fuel line inside the passenger compartment.

I'm sorry, I just naturally figured it was a pressure gauge.
Let me see what I can come up with.

It is amazingly close to a natural aluminum color.

Why not just put in a roll bar and fasten the harnesses to it?
