I need a stainless line for an Oil pressure sender. Can someone find me the part on summits site?

I can't find it

Thanks

I have everything else needed. Just need the line to hook into the T at the stock sender location.

No. Electrical. I want a stainless line about 2 ft long to connect into the T fitting at the stock sender spot to run the sender some place else.

You show me a way to weed 20 feet of oil line under the car and I will buy it. Until then, anything longer than 2-3 feet need not apply.

Atta boy. Tell him! I've seen shorter lenghts on Summit, but just can't remember where. Did you try optauto.com or overboost.com?

I have a Mech oil gauge... Whats the big deal?

Make your own. Buy the hose and the hose ends. Cut to length and assemble. It's -3 tubing, IIRC.

People like to say that it's bad to use a mechanical oil pressure gauge because if the line ruptures it could leak into the passenger compartment. I say that as long as you build the lines correctly, and don't cheap out on parts, you minimize this possibility. I have yet to hear of something like this happening. When I install gauges, they will be mechanical. I actually had a full set of mechanical Auto Meter gauges, but I never installed them.

I already have the electrical oil pressure gauge. I have had it for almost 7 months. The only problem I'm running into is the Greddy oil filter adapter started dripping some oil and I didn't like it. I took it out and lost the spot for my sender.

Now I'm stuck with putting it in the stock sender spot.

If someone can confirm the -3 tubing I know afterhourz can get me some of it. I have already checked my local auto stores and they don't have any of the tubing

Same here. W/ any of my friends who are/were running boost, they all used mechanical guages, and NEVER had a problem.
