Can anyone give me some info regarding where they obtained their pressure gauge (UK) for converting their paint pressure pot and what type of gauge is best please?

Thanks for your replies.
Today I managed to sort it by getting m6 fittings from Screwfix but I have a stubborn leak from the paint outlet port. I’ve used lots of ptfe tape, but there’s still a slow and persistent leak. Tomorrow I’m going to try and see if a threaded cap nut on the inside of the lid will stop the leak. Failing that I’ll have to take it off altogether and replace it with a nut/bolt and washer.
