There is a seller on ebay, blklab I think that sells the gauge with the adapter plug.  Its around $45.  His gauge has a white face.

Works fine for me.  Tapped the hole to 1/8 NPT.

thanks for the input, I e-mailed one guy who had the kits with the fancy adapter plug and he said that he would sell the plug for 30 bucks shipped. A little steep I think. I have an extra motor so if I screw one up I guess I have a replacement, I just dont want it to shoot the gauge across traffic if I rev the motor you know.

30 bucks is reasonable since it sounds like he's making them one-at-a-time. As long as you don't hang a 4-inch gauge on the engine using the stock galley plug, it'll be fine.  Had mine on the engine for close to 10,000 miles and no issues.
