I believe CAT does or did carry a braided gage oil line, I have not
checked lately. I don't know if there were any problems or workmanship
issues but they can happen.
=20
When I was working on my gage oil line I happened to walk into a =
hydraulic
shop for other reasons and I saw they had a spool of black plastic =
pressure
tubing in the correct size so I bought a length. I forget the pressure
rating now but it was substantial - I think it was 400 psi or more. =20
=20
I had to heat the tubing in boiling water to get it onto the block =
fitting.
The tubing has worked just fine for almost 40 years now.
=20
I would think similar black tubing is still available but I don't know. =
An
alternative would be to buy an oil gage and use the plastic tubing =
provided.

I talked to Rick at SS last night. The Ballast resistor is in his =
catalog
but he no longer carries it. So I ordered the NPD T-Bird part.
Also, he no longer carries the steel braid oil gauge line, citing a bad
experience with one that leaked, an apparent workmanship issue. Didn't =
CAT
have one? Same part? Same problem?
