hi there, just a quicky about vacuum gauges (i know its a marmite situation, either love them or hate them). is it possible to fit one using the carb inlet (the one that the oil fume canister pipes are connected to) instead of a carb spacer?

If it's what I think it is then its on the wrong side of the carb. The vacuum gauge needs to be on the engine side of the throttle butterfly.
