i don't see why not, as long as you don't damage anything...They make a replacement/adaptor bolt. I'm sure if you search for "banjo bolt" or "fuel pressure gauge" you could find it.

The tapped banjo bolt they sell for VP-44 systems also works for our trucks. I've got mine setup with a snubber from McMaster carr, needle valve, and braided stainless hose to the gauge. Seems to be working really well.
