The Russel steel braided hose that comes with the rocker box mounted oil pressure gauge is only 22 inches long. Anyone know of a source for one that's 30 inches long? I want to run the hose below the cam chest. I like the ends that are on the Russel hose.

 

Russel sells them in various lengths. Give them a call 1-800-416-8628

 

Just got off the phone with them. They do not have any longer lines that have the same fittings. The Russel part number for the 22 inch line is R58407. So I guess I have to piece something together.

 

Check with your local hydraulic supply shop. They should be able to make one any length you need.

 

Did that today.. Will see how it works.

 

when i went to braided brake lines i got hoses with swivel ends and got adapters to fit the master and calipers. i sourced them cheap from amazon. the hose you can get pretty much what you want over pre-made and crimped dedicated hosed.

 

Yeah, brake hoses are everywhere. I wound up going to hose supplier and got what I needed, but it is not as clean as using the dedicated Russell hose. I ran the line down under the cam chest and mounted the gauge to the rear pushrod cover. The line is about one foot long. Looks better than mounting the gauge up on the rocker cover, if you ask me.
