FPR shrader valve threads?

anyone know the threads the shrader valve uses to screw into the FPR housing? i was thinking i might just install a gauge there instead of the shrader valve.

Nope. No clue, but interesting idea. Do you have a spare kicking around to mess up?

I do believe I've read that people suggest for you to use a liquid filled gauge also. Due to the pulsing of the system.

Whatever gauge you try to install there going to crack the FPR eventually. There isn't enough material there and its not very strong to begin with. I'd look for another option. I'm sure folks have done it on a short term basis though.

just curious why you say that? i know there isnt a whole lot of meat there but i would think a small gauge would not have a problem. would you not install even a small gauge? or even a high pressure hose and thread the gauge on the end? just curious what causes your concern... i want to know!
