Default AFAIK, most gauges with max hold are the larger ones.

For example, I think Omori only puts that feature on their 60mm gauge. I think the AWE are 45mm. The 60mm's would be pretty large for the vent.

Default Omori doesn't make a boost gauge w/ Peak Warning/Hold features smaler than 60mm...

As a matter of fact, as of my research about 1 year ago, ther are NO gauges that have Peak Warning/Hold smaller than 60mm.

That may have changed since then...

FWIW...

That sucks. So there are no vent mounted gauges with peak hold?

Default Someone did a DIY center-vent install with the Omori 60mm.

I don't have the pictureposter link handy. But, the 60 is slightly too large for the vent opening, so the face has to protrude a little.

They may be able to build one with custom lighting when you order, I think.
