oil leaks

["Chris Kantarjiev" <cak@godzilla.studio.sgi.com>]

Aircraft Spruce and Specialty has most everything you need to fit up an oil
gauge, including plastic line and fittings that will go on the 1/8 BSP ports.
You'll probably have to stack up an adapter to change to 1/8 NPT, but it's
doable.

I'd be leery of a copper line in this application; copper tends to work harden
over time, and I think it would crack. Of course, so will the plastic/nylon.
The right thing is a stainless covered rubber line, but it will be expensive
and fittings will be hard to find.

(Aircraft Spruce is a great catalog, well worth the refundable $5 charge. Call
