Default Ferrule (union) for oil pressure gauges...

Does anyone have a couple or no where I could buy them???

Its to go onto a nylon tube that goes into the back of an oil pressure gauge and a t-piece/engine block

cheers

I'd buy a proper oil line for it, my old Orion Turbo had a mechanical oil pressure gauge which had that nylon pipe on a push fit connection................

DEFINATELY wasnt a fun day when the pipe popped off and all the engine oil pissed out behind the dash.........

yeah thats the ones, OLIVES. They're little brass fittings that sit inside a nut and stop the tube from pulling out/off! (With any luck)

Do you know where I can get them? Asked Burtons and they said they don't sell them!
