So last night I noticed that the pressure gauge on my co2 regulator got smashed somehow. I checked it for leaks and there's nothing leaking, thankfully I had the tank closed at the time. Does anyone know where I could pick up a replacement one in Ireland , it's the dual output regarding from Alex, and the 0-250 bar gauge. I'll post a pic later as I'm on my phone and tapatalk isn't letting me log in.

Broke mine too if it makes you feel any better. Doesn't take much, they are pretty exposed. I didn't replace it because I'd probably break it again.

Both still work fine, don't rely on pressure gauge to tell you fill status of your tank.

Same as mcgrath. Mine is busted too but not leaking. It's not really required in my opinion. The low pressure gauge on outputs are more important.

Ah I mightnt replace it then, I only took out the keg to install a wire chain to stop it falling over, and of course it gets damaged then.

Doh, I popped back in the plastic cover a few times but these 2 are for my portable set up so not bothered.

you need one of these bad boys :P
On a related note - i bought my reg used from ebay, one of the gauges was damaged when they shipped it, but I just bent the housing back into shape and it worked fine - same reg as the grey one in CH's post, damage wasn't much worse that that one either, but it's grand.
