Comments please ? .

Pictures of the pressure gauge tapped in would be nice too .

TIA ,
I haven't seen how people do it on these cars, but on a CIS gas system you switch one of the banjo bolts for one of these:

M10 x 1 0 Stainless Steel 20mm Banjo Bolt with 1 8" NPT Brake Light Switch Port | eBay

If there's an M10 banjo, that would work (haven't checked yet). Then you simply screw a 1/8" NPT pressure gauge onto it, or you could use an electrical sending unit to go to a gauge in the cabin.
