Hey all, just curious, I was installing a new mechanical gauge (oil pressure gauge) and the hose was so coil like, as I was installing it it wound back up and it seems that its bent or something in some places which looks like it would block the oil flow to the gauge. My question is, is there any way to fix this or will it be fine or should I get another hose. If I need a new hose, does anyone know where to get just the hose instead of a whole new gauage? Thanks.

 

You can run a braided line from the motor to the gauge. Check out summit or go to the autometer web site. They sell the braided lines for thier gauges.

 

if the gauge u have uses 1/8 inch compression fittings u can go to your local advance auto parts, pep boys, etc. and get a copper hose kit, u can probably find the same thing at any hardware store/home depot. etc. just get some 1/8 inch outside diameter copper tubing and it should work fine.
