I think itwas Bill D. that suggested = going to a hose shop and having a stainless steel #4 Aeroqup teflon hose made = forthe remote mounting of the VDO electric OP sender and I was wondering = where the new mounting location ended up(by driver's side head or to the rear?), = how it was attached and to what, and how long the hose needed to be.  = I'm assuming that you went male 1/8" on one end and female on the other
 
*** Yes, twas I ...
 
I believe you can find all the = details of length, exact installation location, etc. at the www.vanagon.com web site ... = somewhere in the oil pressure/gauge problem/solution section...
 
Good Luck,
