Line

[1BIGMOFO]

I was going to use the nylon line while installing my gauges, then I was going to use a copper line and I did some research and the angle in the pod isn't a good idea for copper line so I decided to run steel braided line with crimped ends.

Can someone please tell me where I tap for the oil pressure when installing the gauge and how they ran the line in the car so I can measure it and get a line made up?

Thanks for the help!

Rob ... The Cobra has a threaded plug at the bottom of the Factory Oil Cooler (right near the oil filter)!!! ...that's what I used! (No tapping!!!!)

very nice. i will check it out and see if I can spot it. How did you run the line into the car from the engine bay?

Thanks for the help Tim!

Rob..NP!!!

I took the front left tire & splash guard off... and ran "line" through the firewall (near clutch pedal), behind the guard and to the bottom of the oil cooler!! ...Takes a few extra minutes, but a clean set-up!

very nice, thanks for the help!! I appreciate it very much! I need to get in there when I do the springs so I think I am going to do it all at once!!

Shouldnt be an issue to use -4an steel braided line right?

Thanks again Tim!

Line is not a problem until you get to the SOS pillar Rob....GL (Off to church - later!)

 

[1BIGMOFO]

is there a way to notch the pilar inside to make it work for the -4an line?

 

[Timspony]

...I thought about that Rob!! ...I even considered drilling the SOS pillar, but went with the nylon line!

No problems to date...

The problem area (that needs to be drilled out) is not visable from the outside at all?

 

[Timspony]

I didn't drill!

 

[1BIGMOFO]

I'm saying, the tight spot that may need to be drilled is not visable?

 

[Timspony]

Correct....
