2. Go with AN-3 rather than a larger size. Easier to work with, especially in the tight space behind the dash.
3. One problem I had was getting the right adapter to connect the new hose to the back of the gauge. The Smiths gauge fitting is a British thread, 1/8 inch if memory serves. The amfmotorsports place has those, and will put the fittings on for you. Or, as others have mentioned, there are kits available.
Good luck. |
1-i've had braided SS inder my dash on numerous cars for more years than i can remember with no issues.Do a proper install job and forget it.
2-Go as large as reasonable(AN4).Plenty of fittings(90s/45s/etc) available to make installation easy.
