[Healeys] A-type overdrive pressure gauge tool - who's made their own?

[Bob Haskell]

Paul,

See http://www.healey6.com/Technical/Werner/OD%20Gauge.pdf for Lauren
Frazier's article on building a pressure gauge for the Healey OD.  I had 
a version of this article on the www.team.net healey web pages at one 
time.  The link now points to AHCA's old website which no longer exists. 
  In any case, I have the two missing images which are attached.  Will 
also send them to Jim Werner and John Sims so John can update the 
article.  The preface to the article has a couple of links to sites 
where you can buy a gauge.  I don't know if they're still valid.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
