The photo shows a setup which adds seven potential leak spots. Turn the 'tee' fitting slightly forward, put the switch in it, and there are only two potential leak spots added.

Johnny,

When I saw that setup I felt it wasn't the best way to accomplish the desired result for the following reasons:

1) the weight of all the bits and pieces would stress the 1/8" pipe tube where it enters the engine block when the engine vibrates

2) brass fittings were used and IIRC someone reported they break

I connected a remote mechanical oil pressure gage by teeing in like the photo BUT I used stainless steel fittings

This setup was put together by John Hesliga. He's an extremely skilled guy and IIRC auto shop teacher. While I was surprised by the
way he did it he would have felt it was strong enough to handle the stresses.

Regards,
Rob M.
