[Tigers] Oil Pressure Hose/Fitting

[coolvt at aol.com]

Thinking way back it seems that I had either the speedo or the tach removed for some purpose and was to able to reach behind to connect the oil sender.  But, don't take that as gospel it's been a few years. I can tell you that I replaced it without pulling the dash.  And you are using  a braided stainless for replacement....right?  Mark L

I bought a new oil line, but have been struggling for several weeks trying to get it installed.  Having big hands and not being able to see anything behind the instrument panel due to all of the wiring/clutter/steering column does not help matters.
  
 I tried removing the oil pressure gauge from the instrument panel, but one of the gauge bracket studs just spins, so I can’t get the knurled nut off.  Apparently, removing the gauge is not an option.
  
 I read where many people recommend just removing the instrument panel for access.  Does anyone have step by step instructions on the best way to do this?  Funny how something so simple can turn into a major stumbling block...
