[MR2] fuel pressure gauge

[Chris McKinnon]

Have you considered just tapping the CSI banjo bolt? I'd assume 1/8" NPT
would work.

>Hi Aaron, 
>For diagnostic purposes in the past I've used the cold start injector
fitting on the rail. I made an adapter by drilling out a M8x1mm bolt and
screwing the gauge adapter to that. But as I want an in-car gauge I need to
fit the electric sender into the rail somewhere. It is quite bulky so not
sure if it will fit.
>I'm not against tapping the rail directly if I need to.
> 
>I want to do this on my blacktop as well, which presents more of a
difficulty. The rail is curved (and I dont have a spare if I mess it up!)
>I'm considering having a fuel line purpose-built with a T fitting in it.
Just wondered what other folks had done.
