I tried Lowe's and Home Depot for the copper tubing abd they don't carry 1/8" copper tubing ... 1/4" is as small as they go. Maybe I'll have to go that route. I'm really wnating aluminum tubing to make it look a little cleaner. Anybody know who online sells 1/8" aluminum tubing staights? Some of the nitorus sites carry the stainless, but, I think it might be hard to work with or I'd go that route. Any suggestions?

Advance or Autozone should carry a kit to hook up a mechanical oil pressure guage that has a little spool of 1/8" copper tubing, that's what I always use. It also has a few fitting with it. I believe it's around $9.00

i just used metal brake line. use an adapter from the solenoid to the brake line, then just bent the line and out the cowl. shoots a nice big plume, gets the fluid to the solenoid quick too.

i know they sell aluminum tubing off a roll at napa auto parts. careful though napa's not the cheapest on anything so price them.
BTW where did you get that clear lid? i have seen clear lids but not from SLP...

We keep 1/8 and 1/16 alluminum tubing instock. We cut off of large rolls so we can cut it to the length you need. We usualy flare one end and install a B-nut and sleeve this way you can screw it strait to a AN fitting. Makes for a nice clean look and seal.
