Default Buncha shiznit hanging off of the block

Here's a pic of what was connected to my block until I removed it all today. 2 brass tee's, stock oil pressure sensor, autometer oil pressure sensor, and of course the oil feed line:




here's what it all looks like disassembled, plus some new parts:


i'm now redoing it to have that short length of -3 hose go out to the tee's which i'll strap to the firewall somehow...

1/8"-5/16" piping looks really nice when you contour it to the block. What motor do you have? Perhaps hard-line and attach all those bad-boys above the trans and use shinny stainless or Aluminum tubing.... Just a suggestion.....

It's a '99 Si with the greddy kit.. here's what it looks like from the top with the main oil feed line just hanging up there:




I don't want to risk something breaking due to all that weight hanging on the block so i'm doing this:

I am not sure, but if there is an oil pressure test port on the head, you could tie those thingies in there and leave the oil pressure sender alone and read/feed oil from the head. I'd like to take some pics of my lines, it is almost invisible (Al) tubing. I feel a bit more secure feeding away from the lower portion of the block... When I go off-roading, I may hit a big rock and break the things hanging down there.... (the last sentence was a joke, BTW)
