Looking for ideas. thanks I have a mechanical oil gauge in my car mounted in the center console. My car is a Subaru conversion but that doesn’t really affect the gauge. I originally ran plastic line that came with the gauge down the center tunnel. That was until some stinkin’ rodent chewed it in two. Now it is 1/8” copper and no problems since. I like the accuracy of the mechanical gauge. |

I once used one to check oil pressure until I hooked up the dash gauge. Off the rack gauge from flaps and a hose from a grease gun.
