i went to a shop that used to make all my hoses when i was busy racing my ACVWs. one long adapter from 1/8 pipe up to AN, one earls AN line of 10 inches, one and to 1/8 pipe female fitting. only about 2 bucks more than the VDO. the extra couple inches put it where i wanted it to go as well. note when you use the extended hose it will be a second or two or three before idiot lights and guage react. after that i have found readings to be accurate. jimt On Wednesday, Oct 9, 2002, at 10:23 America/Denver, David Brodbeck wrote:
