In Reply to: Mounting a new guage posted by Playdo on May 11, 2002 at 16:03:04:

: I have a Spyder 2000, and I have modified it to LP. I have a WGP Ergo Reg, so I dont have a space to put a guage.
: I want to put on on. I have seen them mounted on the body of the gun, right behind the LP chamber. I would like to do that.
: What I need is this:

: How safe is it to do myself? I mean, what are the chances of failure? That kind of stuff

-I'm pretty sure you'd have to do it yourself, no self-respecting airsmith would do a mod this useless. That said, it's pretty simple to do, so you should have no problem doing it yourself. I did this on my TL+, and it turned out okay (but it leaks a little unless you put teflon tape on all the screws).

: Where could I get a guage?

-you can get a guage at most any paintball store, but remember what kind of guage you want. you need the low pressure kind, it should range from about 0-1000 psi. If you end up getting one of the 3k tank guages, it will be even more useless.

: Anything else I should know about doing this before I actually start it.

-first, make sure you get the right kind of drill bit. I ended up having to buy a new one, and had to grind the hole out a little with a dremel. IT took a looong time - make sure you don't do that. also, make sure you're drilling in a safe place. It would really suck to get your guage in, only to find that the valve pin gets caught on it every time you shoot. measure everything, and be sure it'll fit. good luck with it.

: Thanks all!
