Hi aj,
I didn't use any thread sealer or dope on the threads. I too heard that the crush washer alone does the job, which it seems to be doing.

Interesting idea, I didn't think about trying to peg the meter using the pot. I tested smooth 0-bar to 5-bar motion based on Clark's resistance table for my car, which worked just fine.

I noticed that the crimp connector on the blue/white wire was looking sort of old, maybe even frayed. I'll look at doing some reworking of this connection tonight, maybe replacing the connector.
