Keeny Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) As above, has anyone got any suggestions and experiences with the accuracy of gauges they have many thanks Phil Edited April 1 by Keeny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 1 Member Share Posted April 1 Previous discussions have converged on this, which appears under several brand names. I can't remember anyone testing for accuracy themselves. But the point has been made that it's consistency that matters, because for track work you'll be using other forms of assessment of what's right.

Colin_T Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Longacre motorsport tyre pressure gauge £47 from competition supplies they do various pressure ranges but 0-60 is one of them Always been reliable for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeny Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 (edited) Many thanks for the reply’s chaps , I’ve read good reviews about the longacre but thought I would ask the people with the most experience considering the cars and their track use on here 👍🍻 Edited April 1 by Keeny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I can second the RaceX. JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) 0-60 Longacre here - had it for several years. I like it because I can accurately get it to the right single unit of PSI (not easy on some gauges). I usually inflate higher using the compressor then bring it down using the release button on the Longacre. And it glows in the dark!

SM25T Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I hope 60psi is for the tow truck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakman Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) I am a cheapskate, i made my own using an oil filled gauge. 0 to 35 PSI for the Caterham and i have one for my off road race buggy 0 to 10 PSI. I couldn't see the need to go higher than 35 PSI for the Caterham and the lower the gauge scale the easier it is to read. I run mostly 18 - 20 PSI for the Caterham.

Guy Lowe Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) I also use the Longacre but only the 30lb model so I can read it without having to find my glasses 🤓 Which ever one you buy, get one with a swivel valve stem attachment , so much easier to use/connect.

I can remember my grandad making us one. Big “old school” boiler house gauge wrapped in sponge and gaffa tape to stop it getting damaged. My dad still uses it now over 30 years later.

PlastererPete Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I use this one for my van car and anything else I need to check pressures on. Cheap but surprisingly accurate and well built. https://amzn.eu/d/fUtVEfV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22daz Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I have a Longacre too, it’s excellent and easy to use. Mine is 0-60psi £47 and worth every penny 22daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
