Paying It Forward (sorry all gone)

I just finished doing the "gadget pressure gauge" for my progressive air balance kit.
http://www.gadgetjq.com/air_shock_gauge.htm
Poweraire.com has a deal on 10 fittings for the price of $4.95 shipping.
It was cheaper than buying the parts I needed with shipping.
I have eight left over
http://www.poweraire.com/instant-fit...1_573_577.html
Since "Bubba" Andreu was kind enough to send me free tubing, I thought I would also pay it forward.
I will send the first 4 people that PM me with their address, 2 of the 1/8" x 10/32 male elbows (these screw into the progressive fittings on the shocks) free

I just ordered the air balance kit from scootworks and was going to do the gauge mod per Gadgets instructions. What kind of gauge did you use and where did you mount it? Any pics?

I've still got plenty of tubing left. Anyone need it send me a PM with your address. No charge.

Here's a pic of my air gage. I used an old bungee strap hook, JB welded the gage to it and bolted on the top bar mount.
