Oil pressure gauge hose/clamps

Post by 360gts »

Anyone found a source for the hose that resembles the one from the gauge to the small pipe from the engine block?
Also, looking for the little clamps that holds the rubber hose onto the steel pipe.

Its not as fat as an original hose but that is what MS sell.

Make sure the hose clips go tight enough or the pipe can pop off.

Ask me how I know !

The ones from Minispares are far too big ! even if they are done up to the max, they still slip off. I may have a couple of gen ones somewhere and are you looking for the rubber hose or one of the copper pipes ?

I’ve just used another bit of rubber wrapped around the oil pipe to bulk it out a bit . That way the Minispares jubilee type clips are useable…. Shirley
