Oil press gauge install

Bosch mini oil press gauge installed. Used a T fitting so dumb light would still operate normal. Used 1/8 copper tubing kit from autozone. Ran tubing up beside steering rack then up firewall to rubber boot for steering gear through boot up along steering column to gauge installed where TCS button location is. My Maxima doesn’t have traction control so that’s where I put my gauge. Very easy install. Had a small leak at the ferrule. Tightened it up 1/4 of a turn leak is gone.

What was the driving force/reasoning for this gauge? Have a zoomed out picture of where you installed it?

Quick video with 1 1/2 Bosch oil press gauge installed. Nice little add on. Also installed Auto Dazzling Mirror. Too easy
