It was the only shorter spg hose I could find but if that is the DIR way of using an SPG then it is the daftest thing I have ever heard.
Unclip to read? personally I like to just glance at my gauge regularly, not have to faff about grabbing it, unclipping, lifting into a position I can see it, placing back to where I got it and reclipping.
It will be going back down the corr hose where it has been for the last few years then, at least it is easy to read and out the way there.
