Where did/will you get the hose made?  I'm considering this for my diesel.
My oil pressure gauge's sender is quite heavy and I'm afraid the vibration
will snap it off if I just let it hang off a tee fitting.  (I'm using a
Sunpro gauge so the double sender wasn't an option.)  I'd like to put in
the tee with the (relatively light) stock sender, then run the hose either
to the firewall or a convenient spot on the engine and mount the gauge
sender there.
