I've got most of that kind of stuff when it's being chucked out by pubs. It's amazing what lying around unused in cellars or what gets chucked out during refits. Are you friendly with any local landlords?

I recommend DTS

Geoffs another one of these guys who also has an ebay shop but you can buy direct- basically he has a workshop where he reconditions beer coolers and can get hold of any kind of dispense equipment.

I haven't connected my regulator up yet - I ordered the CO2 regulator (lightweight) from here as it was the cheapest I saw online:

http://www.thewelderswarehouse.com/acat ... _Gear.html

It states that it has two gauges - one for cylinder contents, the other for gas flow rate. On getting this I noticed that one of the gauges is in PSI (although it goes up to several hundred) and the other is in Lines/Min. Has anyone else used this regulator or similar or do the gauges need to be changed?

A few people have changed the flow gauge to a pressure one.

DaaB has a few links to suppliers....

I contacted www.pressuregauge.co.uk who put me in touch with a company called Rototherm in Dublin, I presume they're linked in some way. Anyway I'm about to confirm an order for a 0-60 PSI bottom mounted 40mm gauge - does this sound right?

Cheers - I think I ordered 1/8" , hopefully it's the right one, if not they said it's no problem to return it.
