I was about to order the dual oil pressure sender but noticed that there is a relo kit for this sender. Is it necessary if I have the engine tin off?

yes, use the relo kit which is a brake line and clamp. Makes it alot easier in the long run.

The dual sending unit will not fit in the stock location. The kit includes an extension hose.

Thanks, that saved me a future headache. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I was planing on screwing it in later so that I could complete the engine assm. Glad I asked.

If you have the tin removed, just open up the sender hole.
That's what I did. Thread the dual unit directly into the case.

Or use a nice looking paint ball gun stainless air hose.

Makes a major cooling air leak.

So if I buy a paint ball hose, and I wouldn't know where, will it come with the correct size ends?
