I haven't yet. Same issue. But I did make my own inline pressure gauge line, its not hard to do at all. I used two AN compression fittings and an inline AN gauge holder. It came out nice.

I didn't use a liquid filled gauge, but I think either will work.

You can make your own manometer for about 8 bucks. All you need is some clear tubing, a yardstick, some food coloring, and some clear packing tape. I used 3/16 clear tubing. Everyone said it would take forever to get the air bubbles out, not so. Once I had it all put together I loaded it up with the colored water. Lotta bubbles. So I took hold of the tube ends and swung the thing in a circle a few times. Centrifugal force took care of the bubbles
