    Do you have any pics of how you mounted the gauge itself? Not all that keen to start cutting up the panels of my BZ!
    The gauge I got the machine off had it mounted behind a single perspex window in the stainless steel panelling catering for it and the boiler pressure gauge. It wasn't pretty enough to consider mounting on the BZ, so I just have it on the table behind the machine as it has about a half a metre of piggie tailing.

    I'll be also be either reverting this BZ back to pump and selling it (so don't want to dodgy it), or disassembling it for certain parts in the near future anyway.

      Cheers. I think that sounds like a reasonable option.

      Do you plan on reusing the rotary pump, or will that be up for sale also?

        Building a two group plumbed lever machine so I will be selling the rotary pump (separate to BZ) when I have one group pouring well. Could easily be 6 months away though as much as I'd love to work on it at the moment.

          Hi, sorry - didn't see this until now. I get parts from a heavy-duty ag store (pumps/irrigation) but Pedro @ Coffee Parts has this cool illustration of some of their fittings:

            The small ferrules are inserts for Nylon and silicone tubing.
