I'm not sure if this is the page that this should be posted on,but here goes.
I'm after some tube or a kit for a capillary oil gauge on my grasstrack car.I've tried all the local motor factors,and to no avail.They sell brake pipe,which is too large a bore,but not this stuff,which is very small.At the moment it's part metal,part plastic,but I would like to get my hands on a complete plastic kit.
Usually,you get the tube if you buy an aftermarket gauge,but it's only the tube and fixings I'm after.
Can anybody point me in the right direction,or does anyone have a kit lying around that they don't want?
Thanks.

Have you checked a Modelling shop ? Isn't the fuel line for a model engine about right ?

Hi Mark.I've never tried a moddelling shop and we have one only a couple of miles away.Although modelling tube would probably be spot on,it's just the connectors for the block and gauge that may be the problem and I know you do get them in an aftermarket gauge as a friend of mine has one on his car.

You could try your local engineering suppliers who will have the small bore copper pipe and various end fittings. No doubt plastic pipe will be available, but probably designed for compressed air, so check whether it will withstand oil.
Otherwise try Ripspeed or a gauge supplier or ring the makers direct with a sob story about a damaged line for one of their gauges.
