KR> Vacuum gauge

2015-10-26 Thread John Martindale
Snip from Mike...I've currently got a vacuum gauge and just want to fill up the hole with something that provides more useful information. A vacuum gauge truly is uselesssnip. Why not just reverse the numbers in the vacuum gauge. If you are not going to turbo-charge then the

I'm thinking that vacuum gauges are calibrated in inches of mercury, and pressure gauges are in PSI, which are two different things. But the principal is similar I think. On Mon, 9 Feb 2004 19:53:10 +1100, Martindale Family wrote: > OK folks this might be the dummest

I was once told that cyanoacrylate glues (common name "Superglue") is not suitable for vehicle applications, because it does not withstand vibrations. Serge Vidal KR2 ZS-WEC Tunis, Tunisia Art Cacella wrote: [ For some I've even epoxied (or Crazy Glue, cyanoacrylate ?) rivnuts into the

OK folks this might be the dummest question but... Is a vacuum gauge going from 30" of vacuum down to 0" the same as a manifold pressure gauge going from 0" of pressure up to 30". If so, and it's just a dial face change, why are the latter so much more expensive. See, for example, in the

You may be right, but, assuming you need a manifold pressure gauge, which will take more time? Earning the extra $20, or accomplishing this task? And then, we still don't know if we have the same thing. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R. Heath - Columbia, SC

On ZS-WEC, my KR2, I converted all the automotive size instruments into aircraft size (2.25 inches) instruments. All I had to do was to make square flanges of the correct size out of aluminium 2.8mm sheets (I dreamt of a thicker, plastic sheet, without finding one), then cut out a hole in the
