Default Fitting a boost gauge??

Sorry, this isn't a SIAL honest!!

I've bought an autometer boost gauge which came with some tubing on the back of it. Only problem is the pipe I want to tap into is way too big. Do you know where I can get T pieces that convert different size tubing?

Is there such a thing as a boost gauge fitting kit?

Cheers

a good car spares shop will have bits and bobs so you can tee off and reduce the pipe diameters mate,

B&Q - loook in the section for garden hose for fountains etc - they have a wide selection of T pieces and other stuff - that's where I got all mine. Extension hosing was just the stuff used for windscreen washers.

Easy when you've done it....
