Labor Day Weekend

A rainy weekend but great temps.

Replaced the old hard line oil pressure line with a more modern hose. For my poor memory, I’m putting the hose and fitting part numbers below. The hose is 27″ in length. Cost for me to make the hose: $28.00 in parts. The ‘original’ hose was a solid line from the instrument, through the firewall, and connected to a rubber hose. I put in a firewall connector and connected each end of the two lines to this connector. This should keep any vibration issues with the hard line and the firewall feedthrough having no prior support, at a minimum.
