boost gauge hose

[vwbassett]

Hi, Ive got an autometre gauge and dont want to use the supplied hard hose. What hose is recommended to replace it and how have you connected it to the gauges threaded sensor?
cheers

I used 4mm as its a better more readily availble size.
The actual hose is made from high temperature nylon so i could run it along the strut brace but i realise this is not availble to everyone so silicon taken a lower temperature route would be fine.
I changed the brass fittings on the gauge to suit the larger pipe and got a 4mm olive too.
The plastic shroud and tee will accept 4mm piping as i have an autometer gauge to and its what i am using

hi thanks for that - where did you get your replacement brass fitting and 4mm olive?
cheers

I got them from where i used to work.
They are just normal brass compressed air fittings off some press tools.
Any tooling wholesaler should have them
