Mk2 RS oil line ..

Hi guys, just a quick one ..
I need new oil line .. fittings are good, just need the line. No braided bling, just the original nylon/poly type.

Anyone know what size it is and where it is available? Auto parts retailers or industrial supply outlets?

Any direction would be appreciated.

The rs oil line is bigger than aftermarket gauges and hard to find similar locally. I ended up getting 1 from burtons last year with a t piece so i could run an idiot light as well. Wasnt without pain though, although i called and discussed my needs, the fittings sent were imperial thread, possibly mk1 or uk spec.I ended up going direct to lma who supply to burtons to get the correct fittings for our gauge. Sorry recently cleaned up and threw out the info with correct sizes.

I have used 1/4 fuel hose with no issues

Len,
yes that's exactly what I was refering to .. thanks anyway but I managed to source some suitable tubing. Thanks very much for the offer.
 
Thanks also for all the replies. I was leaning towards the fuel injection hose but eventually found some line which is suitable. It looks to be of a similar material to the original line but a bit thicker wall thickness/outside diameter. Despite this, being new it is more flexible so was a good easy fit.
 
(I was getting pretty sick of being told of potential solutions but that it wasn't worth them getting it in cos they would have to order x metres/rolls/whatever of it in .. Anyway .. whinge over!)
 
Surprisingly even Howard Instruments here in Melb had nothing suitable.
 
Anyway, job done.
GG.
 

I tried an old Autometer line I had and it fit the gauge in my MK1 six dial dash. Just saying

I used this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5FT-OIL-PRESSURE-GAUGE-PIPE-FORD-CAPRI-MK1-3-0-V6-ESCORT-MK1-MEXICO-RS2000-XM-/400798943386?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d517a889a
