Pressure gauge for 1991 Avon SeaRider

Searched the forums and I see lots of threads about the correct pressure (2.5-3 psi but check the manual) but can't seem to find one on pressure gauges for these Avon Seariders.

Anyone want to help out a RIB newbie? What is the best pressure gauge for these boats?

I'll take a pic when I get home. I figured there was a standard gauge fitting for all of the Avon SeaRiders but I guess not?

Pic coming later today

This is a very popular RIB pressure gauge (made by Leafield who also make a lot of RIB valves). As used on my 1999 Avon Searider....

Tim to the rescue! I'll post the valve later today to be sure since I'd have to bring this gauge across the Atlantic. Not sold in the US.
