Hose for remote mounting of Oil Pressure Sender

[AndrewE]

Here goes

This method works as the T Piece earths against the horn bracket

I may replace tie-wraps with a p-clip as it doesn't look that neat. P clip needs to be without rubber and need to check sizes as original without rubber was too big

Gauge now reads just over 4 bar :-)

Now with much neater P Clip installation :-)

How long is your hose please?

I fitted mine this evening on my K Series, LMA Remote Kit with M12x1.5 connector, 500mm long pipe. I decided in the end the best mounting point was on the horn post on cross member so I've relocated the horns to the front of the cross member. Fits nicely and all working just need to tidy up the wiring as I ran out of spade connectors, doh! I was a bit surprised how much oil came out but had an old takeaway container handy to catch it.

hose is 500mm 

This is what I bought - it actually came with a blanking plug for the side T piece hole too

I came across this photo in my archives (I'm unsure of its provenance):

It shows the T-piece attached to the RH engine mount.  Of course, the T-piece will need a suitable hole.

Yep, Andrew's is the same as mine the LMA one but I got it from Demon Tweeks ebay store http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LMA-Oil-Pressure-Remote-T-Piece-For-Gauge-Fitment-Race-Rally-Motorsport-/310846011163
