Smiths oil pressure gauge rubber link hose
Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2026 6:25 am
The Smiths oil pressure gauge feed pipe on the Midget is perished and leaking. Can anyone please recommend a suitable replacement hose and supplier?
The dual water temp / oil pressure gauge has a copper pipe coming from the back of the gauge through the bulkhead. Presumably the original copper coils eventually cracked with constant vibration and movement and was replaced with this rubber link pipe. The rubber has been perishing for a couple of years. Last year I trimmed the ends to stop leaks but not its weeping along its length under pressure and needs replacing.
Many thanks
