Rick-
No, I don't have mine yet

It should be back from the painter within a week, then at ERA for another 7-10 days and then hopefully in my garage before Memorial Day.
If I were you, I'd pull the dash again and run the stainless the whole way. I would always be worried that the junction where the nylon and stainless meet would eventually leak.
BTW, I was thinking about using braided stainless line instead of the copper tubing- what brand and size stainless line did you buy? Did the line that you bought come with all the fittings to attach to the gauge and the filter adaptor?
