Thanks for the compliment, Mike and thanks to Brandon for the write up and the idea.

Cheers!

I just got my under hood gauge in a couple weeks ago, and have been waiting for a clear day to get a decent photo. Don't know why the gauge itself keeps coming out a little blurry.. probably the old camera I'm using.
I wanted to keep a really low profile, so I used only an 8-inch hose and just twisted the 316 SS strap to keep the gauge low. Once I got the right twist in the strap, I buffed and polished it on my bench grinder. Nice thing is that since the strap was only 1" wide, I didn't have to spend any time to cut a notch in it.

O.K. I finally got my camera back from my daughters locker at school, so here are the pics.
If you'll notice the dirt and grime in pic 3 of the FP Guage, and then relook at pic 1 of how nice and shiny and clean everything is. All I've got to say is after a good degreasing of the engine bay and a few shots of the Teflon Shine that Pete turned us on to. WOW.... thanks for that Pete.

That really looks great, Brandon. I'm almost ready to give mine another shot and clean her up again, too.

Thanks, Scott. I just finally spun my clamps up on the right side intercooler tube right behind the gauge sort of like yours. Your engine bay really looks sharp, too, Scott. Spick-n-span clean.
