What is claimed is: 1. A gauge head assembly comprising: a generally cylindrical body formed from a ferrous metal material having first and second ends with a first, axially extending annular recess formed in the first end thereof; the body including a generally cylindrical sidewall having a threaded outer surface, the sidewall defining an axially extending passage opening into the first recess and extending through the body and the second end, the second end including a second, axially extending annular recess formed around the perimeter of the passage, the second annular recess defining a shoulder extending around the circumference of the passage at the second end of the body; a tubular insert, the tubular insert having a cylindrical sidewall, a first closed end and a second open end, the tubular insert further comprising a collar extending radially outward at the second open end, wherein the tubular insert is disposed in the passage with the collar positioned in the second annular recess and the first closed end extending into the first annular recess, and wherein the tubular insert is permanently secured to the body with a gas-tight seal; and wherein the tubular insert is formed from a substantially non-magnetic material. 2. The gauge head assembly of claim 1 wherein the non-magnetic material has a relative magnetic permeability (compared to vacuum) of less than 6. 3. The gauge head assembly of claim 2, wherein the non-magnetic material has a relative magnetic permeability of less than 2. 4. The gauge head assembly of claim 1 wherein the tubular insert is formed from stainless steel. 5. The gauge head assembly of claim 4, wherein the tubular insert is formed from an annealed stainless steel. 6. The gauge head assembly of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of wrench flats formed adjacent the first end of the body; and a circumferential groove extending around the body through the wrench flats adapted to receive fingers of a clip-on dial indicator. 7. The gauge head assembly of claim 1 further comprising: a cylindrical end wall extending axially from the first end of the body; at least one cut-out formed in the cylindrical end wall, the cut-out adapted to receive a mounting tab of a dial; and a hole formed in the body in the cutout for securing a dial to the gauge head assembly with a screw extending through a mounting tab at a dial into said hole. 8. The gauge head assembly of claim 7 further comprising two opposed cut-outs formed in the cylindrical end wall. 9. A gauge head assembly for use with a magnetically actuated dial comprising: a generally cylindrical body formed from a ferrous metal material having first and second ends with a first axially extending annular recess formed in the first end thereof, the recess having an inwardly sloping wall configured to receive the magnetically actuated dial therein; the body including a generally cylindrical sidewall including a plurality of wrench flats formed adjacent the first end of the body and a threaded outer surface, wherein the sidewall defines an axially extending passage opening into the first recess and extending through the body and the second end, the second end including a second, axially extending annular recess formed around the perimeter of the passage, the second annular recess defining a shoulder extending around the circumference of the passage at the second end of the body; a tubular insert secured in the passage with a gas-tight seal, the insert having a cylindrical sidewall defining a magnet receiving chamber, a first closed end positioned in the first annular recess and a second open end, the insert further comprising a collar extending outward at the second open end, wherein the insert is secured in the passage with the collar abutting the shoulder in the second, axially extending annular recess and forming a gas-tight seal between the insert and the generally cylindrical body; and wherein the insert is formed from a substantially non-magnetic material. 10. The gauge head assembly of claim 9 further comprising a plurality of axially extending holes formed in the body adjacent the first annular recess, whereby mounting tabs of a dial may be secured to the gauge head assembly with screws. 11. The gauge head assembly of claim 9 wherein the tubular insert is secured in the body by brazing. 12. The gauge head assembly of claim 9 wherein the first closed end of the tubular insert is dome-shaped. 13. The gauge head assembly of claim 9 further comprising: a cylindrical end wall extending axially from the first end of the body; two opposed cut-outs formed in the cylindrical end wall, the cut-outs adapted to receive mounting tabs of a dial; and a hole formed in the body in each of the cutouts for securing a dial to the gauge head assembly with a screw extending through the mounting tab of a dial and into the hole. 14. A gauge head assembly comprising: a generally cylindrical body formed from a ferrous metal material having first and second ends with a first, axially extending recess formed in the first end thereof, the first recess having a first, sloping sidewall and a second, arcuate sidewall extending from the first sidewall; the body including a threaded outer surface and an axially extending passage opening into the first recess and extending through the body and the second end and a plurality of wrench flats formed adjacent the first end; a second, axially extending recess formed around the perimeter of the passage, the second annular recess defining an arcuate shoulder extending around the circumference of the passage at the second end of the body; a tubular insert secured in the passage, the insert formed from a substantially non-magnetic material and having a cylindrical sidewall, a first, domed-shaped closed end and a second open end, the insert further comprising a collar extending radially outward at the second open end, wherein the non-magnetic insert is permanently secured in the passage with the collar abutting the shoulder and the domed-shaped closed end extending into the first recess and wherein a gas-tight seal is formed between the tubular insert and the generally cylindrical body; and wherein the insert forms a window of low magnetic permeability through the gauge head assembly at the domed-shaped first end adjacent the first end of the generally cylindrical body of the gauge head assembly. 15. The gauge head assembly of claim 14 further comprising a locating feature formed in the first end adjacent the first recess. 16. The gauge head assembly of claim 14, further comprising: a cylindrical end wall extending axially from the first end of the body; at least one cut-out formed in the cylindrical end wall, the cut-out adapted to receive a mounting tab of a dial; and an axially extending hole formed in the body in the cutout for securing a dial to the gauge head assembly with a screw. 17. The gauge head assembly of claim 14, wherein the body is formed from a magnetic steel and wherein the insert is formed from a stainless steel. 18. A method of forming a gauge head assembly for use with a magnetic dial comprising: forming a gauge head of ferrous metal, the gauge head having a generally cylindrical body having a first and second ends, a passage extending therethrough with a first, axially extending annular recess formed in the first end thereof and a second, axially extending annular recess formed around the perimeter of the passage, the second annular recess defining a shoulder extending around the circumference of the passage at the second end of the body; forming a tubular stainless steel insert having a first closed end and a second open end, the second end defining a shoulder conforming to the profile of the shoulder in the second annular recess; annealing the insert; positioning the insert in the passage; and brazing the insert in the passage to form a gas-tight seal between the open end of the tubular insert and the body. 19.
