Default In need of advice please... Fitting Ford Racing Gauge...

Hi all, iv just bought a Ford Racing boost gauge for my S2 RST.

The problem is that, the vaccum hose that came with it is a lot smaller than the one I'm using at the moment for my TIM gauge! This fits fine onto plenum where I've got an act gauge wire screwed in acting as my T-piece. The new hose for the Ford gauge won't fit onto that either!

Is there an adaptor that I need, or is there something I'm missing?

Cheers for any info!

Is there no screw on adapters with the gauge or anything?

Most gauges have the same size connections

You can normally push the Autometer 1/8" pipe into the larger rubber tubing that goes onto the plenum fittings. Push it in as far as you can and put a couple of small cable ties around it and it'll be fine.

Mine works.
