Completed the connections and routing this past weekend. I had ordered the 6'-0" length of hose as suggested in previous posts, and it is just the right length - barely. I think another six inches would have given me enough slack to route and secure it more to my liking. Another foot would have been more than enough, no matter how you route it.

Also, don't forget to wrap the braided steel line where it comes into contact with other elements (frame rails, inner fender wells, etc.). I used electrical tape under the dash, and rubber hose (split and zip tied around the steel line at the ends to prevent it from slipping) to prevent damage to the frame rail and inner fender.

The 90º fitting at the back of the gauge is mandatory for the SPF. However, they can install whatever type of fitting you need for your application at the block end (90, 45 or straight).

Cost for assembly of the terminal ends is up to $10.00, but the overall cost, including shipping and handling, was just under $65.00 - well worth it.
