How do I install the Nitrous Express Gauge on the bottle? Ok, I am no newbie to spray, but I just got rid of my old NOS system for the NXL. Along with the tiny 10lb, I bought two extra 15LB bottles and gauges (NX part number 15509). This looks like a completly different setup from NOS. I cannot for the life of me figure out how this damn gauge goes on the bottle. Nothing seems to fit? Can anyone shed some light on this? Am I doing something wrong (prolly am)? Any pics of NX bottles with a gauge attached? Are their different size valves and gauges for NX?
thanks
thanks

NX Bottles do not have port in valve capabilities that NOS bottles have. You basically can get a -4 AN gauge port and put that on the bottle fitting with the gauge. Earls makes a -4, -6 and -8 AN gauge port swivel that works out really nice. I'll try and get you the part number for it.
NX usually sells the gauge with a manifold ... The manifold is basically an aluminum block with a -4 female on one side (bottle), -4 male on the other (feed line), and tapped in the middle for a 1/8" NPT (gauge) ...
