Re: Temporary air gauge and switch. Where to find?

I bought my gauges off ebay for $6 each (dual needle 150psi). I was going to run the gauges Porterbuilt posted a while back because they are small and he said that was all he used. They were also somewhat cheap, like $20 or something and 1 5/8" in size if I recall.

You can get a switch at Autozone for like $4.

Got any progress pics? It's looking good so far.

Thanks Jimmy! I was looking at one on ebay but wasn't sure if you can buy some at a local automotive shop like kragens or autozone. $4 for a switch is perfect. I just want something so i can test it at ride height to make sure i got the correct angles and what not since i am doing a cantilever setup for the rear suspension. Hopefully i will have some more done by this weekend and i will post some pics for sure. Thanks again!

Josh

Any momentary SPDT (single pole, double throw) switch will work. Just make sure it's momentary (as in it returns to center when released). Good luck with that, I can't wait to see it.
