DIY: Oil Pressure Gauge

Turns out mine was defective. So I had to improvise and use a few more fittings that added length to the overall assembly. To answer your question though, I'm not concerned about bumps. The weight of the fittings and sensors is negligible, so there is very little torque on it. I suppose if both of my front sway endlinks broke at the same time the sway bar could pivot and hit it. But thats a long shot. An alternative is to install a three way female T adapter via a male-male fitting off the central port of the T...less lever arm that way. I'd also know I lost pressure long before I ran out of oil!
