Here is what I use:
1 each 1/8" pipe galvanized, threaded both ends with 1/8" copper thread
(fine thread).
1 each 45 degree offset brass coupler, both ends female.
1 Each 8" - 12" Flexible grease gun hose.
1 Each 1/8" brass T for the idiot light sender and the VDO sender.
1 Each support and grounding bracket cut from 1" Steel packing strap.
Drill 1 1/4" hole and 1 1/2" hole in a length 6" long and bend as
necessary for clearance.
1 Length copper wire from T fitting to good ground.
Everything from your Local Ace Hardware or other Don Madden recommended
retailer.
Picture if you need it .................. by P mail.
