Today I took all of the gauges apart and cleaned them of all rust and polised them up.
Putting the one back together for the Kook Kwick I gave the cover just one last squeeze and cracked the glass face.
No big deal I will get another face.
The old gauge for the National is a geared gauge and very good quality.

The other day I called up the Auto supply store down the road from me and asked if they had a 1/8 NPT die to cut threads.
He came back and said they did.
I told the guy I would be there later to get one.
I was in line waiting because I couldn't find one on the rack.
I told the guy I called about a 1/8 pipe die.
Another guy tossed it down the counter and I bought it.
This isn't the first time they have done this for me.
