you need to get an adaptor that converts the threads from 1/8 bsp to 1/8 npt. most hondas have the bsp thread and there are a number of them made. msc industrial supply has them for one. you need a 1/8 bsp male to a 1/8 npt female,then you can use standard fittings and line. and DON'T use that plastic line.

Don't ask Lost how he knows to not use the plastic line.

I'll take a guess that it broke and he didn't have an isolator in place.

Either his engine bay got messy, or his interior did. Gonna wager on the latter.

He had to pull his dashboard out to clean up the mess if I recall correctly.

It's a mechanical gauge?

If you want to run at the drags, you can't have hot fluids in the cabin. You have to be an isolator or soemthing. I haven't really looked into it.

<-- runs electrical gauges.

Wow :omg:

Glad I'm switching to electrical. By the way, I have an isolator for sale ;)

<-- runs electrical gauges.you can run it connected to the engine if you have braided line and a restrictor. but no plastic line and no hose clamps. I now have all braided line.

The only reason I preferred mechanical gauges is because they are full sweep.
