Question need specific fp gauge-help

have some autometer sport-comp gauges and looking for a fp gauge to match. it also has to be a 60 psi one. 30 isnt enough and 100 is way too much. cant seem to find such a thing anywhere though. i dont care if its a little different like a procomp series but cant seem to find anything. what are y'all running for that? dont want to buy a complete set of different guages.....
thanks

I got into this with my Phantom II's. They will happily make you one for about 7K. (Yes, I asked.) I ended up going with the 100 PSI gauge knowing it was less then ideal. With the electronic sender, it is accurate enough to see the difference between 15 and 16 PSI.
The hard part I am still working on is permanently getting rid of flutter. I grabbed a banjo bolt / snubber from Tork tek, and mounted the sender to that. It lasted less than 50 miles. I then added a piece of fuel line 3 feet long between the snubber and the new pressure sender. It is working good for the time being. I am going to replace the 3 footer with a four footer that has a loop in it to prevent fuel from making it all the way to the sender. The Tork Tek instructions suggested the three foot piece, and I am adding to it on my own. The idea is to use the expandable nature of the fuel line and the buffer of air between the fuel pulses and the sender as a very effective snubber. It is the same idea as the air hammer preventers now put in household plumbing to reduce shock and noise when opening and closing faucets quickly.
Hope this helps you out and saves you some coin.

Use a 60 psi boost gauge then. The senders are all the same, will work for any fluid. I use my 100 psi fuel pressure gauge as a boost gauge, since they don't make a 100 psi boost gauge.

My 60 psi FP gauge says AMI on it = AutoMeter Industrial

Bought it here for $6.99 but they don't always have them https://www.surpluscenter.com/

Never changed the labels on the gauges. Not that important to me, to be honest. I'd love to have them labelled properly, but I'm not gonna tear apart my gauges. Its easy for me, the 60 psi gauge is the interstage pressure, the 100 psi gauge is the manifold pressure. Once you're used to it, its no longer an issue.
