Hello all,
Is there anyone out there who knows of a source for the oil pressure line that is used between the engine and the "T" fitting. Moss and VB do not show this as a replacement part. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Actually, they do, but it's hard to find. I fail to see the logic, but you will find it on the page that features dash components, gauges, oil pressure gauge fittings. Item #22.

dash components

Oops! I posted the link for the MGB. Sorry about that!

Don,

Not sure what oil line you are referring to? Where is the "T fitting" ? Pictures would be most helpful. thumbs up

Rick,
The "T" coupling takes a feed from the oil pressure line (the one I am referring to) and provides openings for the oil pressure gauge as well as the switch that is connected to the anti-run-on valve.

If I remember correctly, I use a 1/8 copper line from Ace Hardware. If you can take the "T" and the oil pressure gauge off and take it to a hardware store. One of my race cars has a braided line but it does not have a stock oil pressure gauge. Its a 3AN line. You can go to the hardware store and get a brass filtting that will fit it. You can get those at a local circle track. Best bet to make sure is to take the gauge and the T fitting with you. I'd start at an ACE hardware store. I

carry all kinds of parts off my cars in to Gil's Ace Hardware in Smyrna, TN. I need to go from here to here. What do you have?

Why don't you just telephone Moss and talk to them directly? You'll have your answer in 5 minutes.
