Bad Baby Wedge needs your help

[degz]

I need to find some micro bore copper of plastic semi ridgid tubing to replace my oil pressure line. outside dia is about 4mm.
You lot are full of , know people who know!.
The BBWF was so hot and the tubing so close to the exhaust manifold its partly melted. I want to re-route it around the engine bay, to stop it happening again and look neater. Been to Fords, original came from a MK1 Granada V6, not in stock anymore. I could just block it off but where the fun in that?

Come on thinking caps on.

Try a Cortina MK3 spares place.

The GTs and GXLs had oil pressure gauges fitted, and used a similar pipe, with Pinto engine fitted. www.classiccortinas.co.uk

I'd try Merlin motorsport ? at Castle Coombe as I got some thin bendy copper specifically for the oil pressure guage

What about this
www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=LMA037/4
Steel braided comes in 4ft, 6ft, 10ft or 15ft lengths and a range of different fittings for the ends. It's what I'm using on mine and I'm still using the original Gauge.

I had a similar issue with the 'Sprit; Vehicle Wiring Products do a capillary type gauge and more importantly, a copper extension kit with about 10 feet of small-bore pipe and threaded end fittings.
