Default Manifold pressure gauge thoughts?
I'm looking for an analog manifold pressure gauge, preferably two inch diameter, that reads down to 5" at the bottom of the scale. Why? Because light plane engines on final approach can have manifold pressures down to just over 5 inches (personal experience), and I want to have a needle with tic marks for easy adjustments.

Has anybody ever seen one of these? Who made it?

I'm not looking to debate the requirement, I'm looking to meet it.

Thanks!

Ed

You owe me a ride when you get proficient in the 9A.
