Thanks for the several recommendations of copper tubing for the oil pressure
line. One thing I am not clear on though is this:

How do you isolate the gauge (which is a sensitive instrument mounted
solidly to the dash) from the engine (which is a vibrating mass when
running). Would not the tubing which provides a solid connection between the
two eventually a) cause damage to the gauge or b) break from the stress of
the vibration at one end and solid connection at the other?

How does the TR7 resolve this issue?
