It's the same principle as the restrictor 'pill' in the actuator vac pipe, the vacuum from the engine is very unstable it is just a case of forcing it though a small hole.
Good idea with the Resin in the pipe, I might try that. I'm not fussed about the needle movement but my gauge rattles like buggery!!!

The problem with the resin is trying to drill a hole small enough.
