How long is the rubber pipe to your cckw oil pressure gauge

[Vulture]

Guys

A week ago the flexy pipe linking the oil pipe on the engine to the oil pressure gauge failed.

I ordered a replacement from Rex Ward which arrived yesterday. On trying to fit it this morning I find that its either too long, or too short. Its not long enough to curl round like the old one, and not short enough to easily link the two pipes. At the moment if I force the issue, it will kink the the pipe.

Any ideas whats going on here ? (deep sigh)

Kind regards to all

Thanks for taking the trouble to post the pics. It seems my truck is non-standard and the pipe from the gauge is shorter then most. I've had a new pipe made up using the old end fittings. Hopefully it will fit when I try it out on Friday.

Kind regards
