simonhar Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 HiI know this is a popular conversion from the electrical one. Can anyone tell me the length of hose needed to get from the present oil sender point on a 1.6 k series (SV) to the back of the dashboard gauge?.Assuming the best route into the dash area is through the large grommet on the transmission tunnel.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vine Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Depending on source, I think the supplied lines are either 6' or 7'. My kit (with 6' line) came from Think Auto:I fed the line through the bulkhead, between heater and battery: ...and covered it in nylon hose:JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Widdup2 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I've just got one of these which I haven't fit yet but hope to over the next week or two. I chose it largely because it was the closest I could get to a gauge that looked in keeping with those already in.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284255020277?hash=item422eeb64f5:g:e8kAAOSwtVViPGrR&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsAnhqoQtq77fF0XyUs2O2U48N77%2BjrAdQFrl%2Faixy0R4q1utZ74i90hN9%2BBMaMxKWPs8MH5k%2Fe5Q3w%2F9%2Fqp75NIcqSXqW56%2FSCJcedfo2BTXnsLdxXtUcyp%2BBcxXcu28aZa6rB6WruRpewyRGFEgIukx07RZY0D%2B2%2FoBrZP%2B7jiNhmfnLFfJxiscXzwQB6M7Golfy46Cm5%2BQYU%2FQY91Vmu9UmP25WPMi3s%2BXGXKOpc%2FV%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9CDt-2rYQI think Ill just then need one of these to supplement it for a direct fit on my K series..https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352779500497?fits=Car+Make%3ARover&epid=1933315922&hash=item52234bfbd1:g:1w0AAOSwGDJeUlRS&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4A57NzyLpYFwSMRn3ggyq5EaQPH%2FMnLDPRaBl5IJ8Yo1WbXqfs8jNNnUdjuPwroMMyfI%2BcVr%2BYq69MRhYgM5ll1NL9eT%2FkgCATyDE6rEY7s1ko41FXsauu05zt7tdqVCrgkCE1zxB8xHFLkcCTZOmZGYTEHy1irOZLzCyd6JBYmkn4MS4LJPeCm%2BzQ9vc62zodwWgMWSSuFylgXtylAbV%2FMuevpCQpsFs2voGLY4rm3b6wZLfGvlFRaIuEzx%2FncAbbmMtCRBW1Qmf6Zgm0f0T42pMhMxoMFnDzvnMKw9Yb7%2B%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-aI3O2rYQOr one of these if I want to replicate the Demon Tweeks kit with a take off for a warning light.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264183320626?hash=item3d828d9032:g:ZuIAAOSwDThePC3w&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4OgkEd5BFLTWeh40aJV1rfUPn8OD%2Bg%2BTbMfT%2FCG06zMDHHqTxjExCmYdv6yAUb2%2BuzSp2F2qR%2BkzT7RqzFMV5VmcnIq9YQXa7A1i2Fr2ma77LcJd7Q3IfIiEKBGaNW7%2FPxmYUXccOPiQYSwEoK%2FAP7FRGz2YQivJb9wpmXpjZtEm7Q%2FTUFVpF5jEVwYlpTZWh1AwnySoIC5gwxxqZ1yqg3M4oCVnqGO%2BNJYFbm8V0ypPC%2FxQUvx%2F5i4Edlx8FPDn8i0Oa6uqsKiIxvI5%2BOIIgc4qDhkAmM2oWGTyDzwRpJBP%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4So-u2rYQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc007 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Strongly recommend upgrading the OE incandescent bulb to LED. Gives you a fighting chance of seeing it in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
