Fuel Pressure Gauge fittings, what size and where from?

[John Jones Jr]

Guys,

I'm in the process of purchasing a direct mount (the fuel rail) fuel pressure gauge. I've opted for an Aeromotive which has a 1/8 NPT fitting. What I need is an adaptor to plumb into where the Schrader valve is on the rail, I think I'll need to screw out the valve itself before screwing in an adaptor.
I've attached a photo of the valve location on a M111 2.3K, it's marked with an arrow, there's a brass cap covering the Schrader valve.



Thanks in advance.

P.s. I have found adaptors listed for Ford & GM (in the States) but not for M-B.

Thanks Simon. I'll give them a buzz as I can't work out from their catalogue precisely what I need.
