Cheers Birder, you're keeping me going - Another gauge to investigate.......
Ive completed the Allemano Oil Pressure gauge. Its exactly the same construction as the previous fuel pressure gauge. This is quite small and very quick to make (I wish they were all so easy to construct).
I also place my build pictures on Pinterest (as a running log). I actually got a pm via pinterest asking were I obtained the gauge. I loved explaining its not the real thing and its actually made from an old toilet roll and a CD case.

The initial graphics look good on paper:
I gave the numbers a different colour (to give it that authentic old look) to the Allemano gauges as this one is made by Borletti.
Enjoy
