I dont think a mechanical oil pressure gauge is a good idea. I know they are cheap and work and all, but if it ever breaks or fails, it wont be fun having hot oil squirting out of the gauge on your dashboard.

and they do break. had to replace an autometer tach and water temp gauge on a spec racer ford in sebring last weekend. and those were the more expensive electronic ones. go spend a little more money and get an electronic one, itll ensure the safety of you and your passenger(s).
