Hi all,
I have an old oil pressure gauge which I would like to fit but have run up against a little problem. The team at Speedograph have told me that they are unable to provide a fitting for the cone shaped threaded connection at the rear of the gauge. Does anyone out there have any knowledge of such a fitting and how can I go about fitting it to a copper pipe please? Must have been done before but am at a loss to work out what i need to do to get it connected at the gauge end of things.
Many thanks,

Tim Green

Immediate thought is could you connect using hydraulic brake pipe such as used on say mgb and connects to the flexible hoses that are anchored at the chassis and go to the calipers?

Bob, I did think it looked a bit like a flared brake pipe job, looks like a bit more homework to do on the subject still

Check out Bundy flaring brake pipes on Google and make a pipe the correct length for your car.
