Hi all,
At long last I've gotten around to replacing my oil gauge line with a steel braid flexible one from Ted at TS Imports.
Has anyone fitted one of these?
I'm still a bit concerned with the supplied adapter which is longer than the equivalent from the old copper line. It means that it doesn't really fit snugly as its slightly longer than the threaded male connector on the gauge itself.
I spoke to Ted and he says that putting PTFE tape on the gauge connector will make for a good fit. I do also have a leather washer.
Anyone done this, does it seal perfectly ok?
(I had a leaky set up before and having fitted a new carpet and dash I don't want a repeat performance!)
Thanks for your thoughts,
