If you mean fuel pressure guage - then all the racer parts houses have
them (Summit, Jegs, Racer Parts Wholesale, etc.). Figure $20 for the guage
and then you need a method to tap into your fuel system... the guages all
have 1/8" NPT fittings, so you need to make a block with three 1/8" NPT
taps... one for the gauge, one for the inlet and one for the outlet. Then
you need two 1/8" NPT barbed hose fittings for the tiny fuel lines... I
use 5/16" where I can. Don't buy the fuel line tap from Summit - it's for
3/8" fuel line - _waaaaay too big for your Triumph_. You can get it to
fit, but it's way overkill for the job.
If you want a "remote cockpit mount" gauge, these are more expensive
(typically $100), but allow fuel pressure monitoring in the cockpit (in a
fire-safe manner). Plumbing is a bit more complicated but not a big deal.
