Porsche 912E Pressure Switch/Sender Hose

[BasherBell]

Hi.
I've a 1976 912E that I imported into the UK a number of years ago . Its been in the garage over winter and after starting to carry out a timing check/ tidy up I noticed it was leaking oil. Hunted and found the culprit a split hose - burst actually. I think when I had the distributor off and put back I didn't seat it properly so it didn't connect to the oil pump/ dizzy drive shaft and a pressure build up burst a rubber probably 1976 hose. (Better in the garage than on the road)
This oil hose is about a foot long is behind the distributor and leads to a t connector - off which is the Pressure Switch and a Pressure sender (on a bracket) to feed the instruments.
I've checked PET / 914 forums and can find no reference to this hose anywhere and no real detail of this fitting .

At a guess it looks like its got an M10 ? thread male into the engine case and female at the other end into the T connector .

So anyone with any bright ideas- is there another Porsche hose or vdo hose that would fit ? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Any info on what fitting / thread sizes these are would help - worst case I suppose I can send it off for someone to make me a custom hose .
Cheers
Dave

There is no such oil hose on that engine, the pressure switch simply screws in to the case. Perhaps someone put some sort of tube in there to add a sender for an aftermarket oil pressure gauge?

I can identify the two fittings.

The Male is M10 intended for a crush ring seal (straight threads, not taper).

The Female is a Euro Flare or "Inverted Flare" and accepts a Male fitting like this......



As Ryan says, this must have had a Oil Pressure Gauge mounted by previous owner.
