Don't get me wrong.. I would be very interested in it as well.
There is a gauge maker here in Toronto that I want to see what they can come
up  with.
I got a simple little panel mount white faced 270 degree 0-30 gauge from
them for $2.00 a little while ago. There site says they do custom work, so I
will see how custom they do :)
