Mechanical gauge install and fitment sucks! I installed a pillar pod on a stock piller and a mechanical nitrous pressure gauge, BUT when running the -4an line to it, because of the location of the fitting on the back of the gauge and the line being so stiff it pushes the gauge out of the pod about a 1/4 inch and it bugs the hell out of me! The fitting is too close to the pod on the back side that and the line wont bend or anything.
Any ideas on what to do?

Yea...either get an electric gauge (yea i know they're pretty much a rape job), or get a 45* fitting for the gauge and see if that will angle it away from the back of the pod enough.
I'll try and find a 45* fitting. I didn't even think about that!

IT's going to be hard to find a 1/8th NPT x 4an male 45* fitting. You are more than likely going to have to do this using two seperate fittings to make one.
If you can't find that fitting ( I havent been able to locateone yet ) then this is how you'll have to do it.
1/8th NPT x 1/8th NPT Female union ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FRA-491001/ I can get this fitting too but i dont have it instock ) and 1/8th NPT male x 4an Male 45* fitting ( http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...0&product=3757 ) and that will allow you to come off there with a 45* rake.
