where to tap in for fuel pressure???

I bought the Westach - Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit - 0-16 psi from Genos garage. Is the only place to hook up to is the schrader valve or get the banjo bolts with the 1 of them being tapped?
I have it hooked up to the schrader valve now and it vibrates loose and leaks fuel all over. What else can a guy do???
thanks

I just installed mine last weekend....Used a tapped banjo bolt at the bottom of the filter housing... works like a champ...no leaks, no fuss...you'll need to get TWO new gaskets...

The thread size is the same, the holes that the fuel has to pass through are larger.

Just be careful don’t over torque them. I’ve heard of a couple of guys twisting off the heads of the bolts. The book calls for 18ftlb. I would just get them good and snug.
Just my $0.02 worth.
