End gave me the idea to use a flexy hose to get the oil pressure switch & gauge sender up out of harms way.

The thing is, I already have a spare extended brake line left over from the kit, fittings are right just need a fe/fe connector, but is it suitable for use with the engine oil?

Wessex were helpful but unhelpful as they don't stock the automotive threads that I need but could do me a length of pipe, without fittings that is useless so I've been on to HypeHose who have all the bits I need and will go over to collect tomorrow, they were confident that the PTFE lined brake hose would work but obviously wouldn't give it a definitive yes for obvious reasons.

The fella said that they could do a crimped braided line if that was what I wanted or a nylon line with compression fittings, inserts and olives, entirely up to me and my budget to decide.

Might as well go for the custom crimped line me thinks, gonna pop out an have a measure up to see exactly where I want to put it on the bulkhead in a mo.

sounds like a good plan, always the way when things take longer than unexpected and having to mess around , lol
