[Oletrucks] Oil pressure sender tube for oil guage

[Bob Chansler]

Thanks for that. This is the second time I broke this line. The first time I
was taking out the guage from my 56 and it broke in the back of the guage. I
had an old one from a 49 and that is the one I broke this time. One of the
good things about the one from the 49 is that is is much longer and makes
taking out the instrument cluster much easier. I did get 2 new  1/8th inch
nuts. So, the nuts are not reuseable? Do they get crushed when you tighten
them up? Good idea, just clean up the end of the line and use a new nut. I
think the old line is steel and the one they sent me is copper. Since this is
a longer line, I have plenty of length. I think I'll use a tube cutter to get
a clean cut.

The original brass fitting was sorta pointed and
compressed on the line when tightened into the gauge or the block fitting.
They are not reuseable from one tube to another. Did LMC provide a fitting
like the original? If so....then you can clean up your line real well with
scotch brite and install the fitting on the line then insert into guage or
block fitting and tighten until it does not appear to leak.

I broke off the line right at the block while hooking up my
exhaust. After a little searching I found LMC had a replacement. It just
arrived and the ferrules are not on the ends of the line. Does anyone know how
these things are attached to the line? Are these compression type nuts that
seal when tightened? The old line has about 1/8 inch sticking out and you
can't slide the nuts off.
