As David has already stated, the RPM readout is part of the Woodcomp CS unit. Whilst the press gauge is mandatory in the UK, it does not contribute much to your flying. Hope that helps.

Did anyone receive the opposite so we could just swap?

I thought I was responding to an email that Ron sent directly to me and not the forum. It turned out okay though. My project is going slowly and I want something to fly in the interim. Thanks again.

Price about a fiver for a massive tube. Its called heat sink compound. Probably not officially approved but does the same job at a fraction of the price.
