Carl,

Thanks for the info I did try Halfords to no avail but the MG owners club
came up trumps. Ordered it today.

Many thanks and best regards

The vacuum guages that I used to set up my carbs are also suitable for
checking fuel pressures (up to 15 PSI)

Halfords sells them.

They are called a Lo Pressure guage by Gunsons. Price about 15.00 or you
can order them online from the MG owners club for about 12.99.

Hope this helps.
