Keep your SPG where it is, but use a weak link attachment to the bolt
snap.  I bend an o-ring around the snap, and then thread the HP hose
through this.  This permits me to grab the gauge to read (if I can not
see it merely by looking down, the o-ring slides up the HP hose), and
then restow by sliding the bolt snap back down.  Use an o-ring that is
strong enough to be able to slide along the hose without breaking, but
weak enough that you can break it by pulling when you need to.
