This uses nice flexible hose and has the correct fitting (non-tapered m10
threads with sealing washer):

The hose is nice and long too.

One caveat is that with this setup the hose is not a perfect conductor so
you need to ground the sender block.  I grounded mine by cutting some of
the rubber off the clamp that's supplied.  (The block is attached to the
front of my left head, there are two unused m8 holes there.)

I plan to add a second clamp for extra security.
