Bendable Air Line?
Sunday, August 15, 2004 9:57 AM
I wanna put my gauges back on my A-pillar, but its such a @!#$ because the air line doesn't bend. The gauges swerve to one side or pop out yada yada yada. Is there such thing as bendable airline that would make this easier. Or maybe share how u did ur own on the A-pillar. <br>

mechanical air gauges will not fit in the lotek pods. That's why I got digital gauges.

If it's not a lotek pod it can fit, otherwise, unless he cut the thread on the back of the gauge they can't fit.

might sound jankie but couldn't you use eletric oil gauges with a sending unit tapped in to a tee and thin just run the weirs ? sounds logical to me

that's basically how the digital gauges work. but oil press only has one output so you'd need 4 gauges just to do the wheels.

I had 2 dual needle mechanical gauges in my pod...

1/4" airline, and i had a few holes drilled out in the factory pillar...

The gauges didnt pop out or turn sideways etc... <br>

You can also get 1/8" or 5/32" air line and the fittings for the size line that you choose. The smaller size line would make it easier to fit into the pillar.

IM about to order some dual needles for my car. Im sick of the dig ones. THe senders are crap and never read right and two of them are bad anyway and dont read anymore.

Are most of you running 1/4"
I was thinking of running 1/8" for space savings.

WHat size is on the back of the guage so I know what fittings to start with?


I am all that is man

I am running 1/4" easystreet lines to easystreet guages... the guages have the nipple thingy with the ridges that the 1/4" hose just slips snugly onto...

I orderd the easystreet gauges. BUt I didnt know what the back was like I orderd 1/8 line.

I guess I'll go ahead and get the right fittings to use the 1/8 line.
