I have a set of Morgan Carbtunes, which use stainless rods. Highly recommended, and a lot mote accurate than the cheaper dial type gauges.

Hi

I have a set of the original Morgan Carbtune vacuum gauges which use mercury. These are accurate. Bit dubious about the more modern types using steel rods or ball bearings as these (to me) seem to be far more likely to suffer from wear.

All the best

Of course they're better, they're made with a dangerous substance!
Why is that anything that is really good for a particular use, turns out to be really bad for the health, and gets banned by someone?

Asbestos
Mercury
Latex

What's next?

Petrol! Did you know that stuff can catch fire?!
