Sight level glass windows

[Gizmo.Y]

Anyone point me in the right direction? looking to purchase a sight level glass as pictured below. looks lots neater than using a couple of 90 push fittings with clear tubing.

Im guessing they are used in the Pipe industry?

[Gizmo.Y]

No milling machine unfortunately.

I want something very similar to as pictured above. Looking nice and professional.

Fairly standard on hydraulic power packs, shows level and temperature.

Make one using a drill hack saw and file easy enough, ali works easily with hand tools

These work well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYDRAULIC...235331?hash=item541574e583:g:-2gAAOSwg3FUfTI8

most folk don't want to do stuff the old way without machines unfortuntely its a practice that's lost . I have all the gear but still like making things by hand

Might take twice as long, but you can't beat the satisfaction.

Id certainly give it a shot if i had access to the equipment.

Personally i think two small round sight glasses would look waaaaay better if the punter insists on both max and min marks. One showing the min mark is all that's needed as you can see the level when topping up. Especially if there's a max mark inside the thing to act as fill target
The round type are peanuts to buy, available in various different sizes/thread forms and faster to use as it's just drilling a hole instead of cutting out shapes

I prefer level sensors which are also peanuts to buy but obviously unless the car is already wired to use one they're more work for someone

Because, contrary to popular belief, the customer is usually wrong i often end up doing things this way

even after telling the punter that clear plastic tubing WILL end up permantly stained making the sight glass next to unreadable after not very long. More people just seem to like that look for some reason

And also the number you see on fuel tanks too !! with no clips just pushed on, also the fuel also tends to make the plastic pipe shrink in length and it pulls the end of pipe dangerously close to the swageing and nobody seems to give a hoot
blue book doesnt really cover it as long as it is behind the fire wall they go over the top re no screwed connectors in the passenger compartment and there is this catastrophe waiting in the boot. for the WHOLE contents of the fuel tank to spill into the car !!

Yeah, half the world is bonkers. Happy to spend £££ on braided hoses and JIC fittings but too cheap to buy a proper level sender

Forgot to add picture in previous post - looks identical...

You cant see them in the boot. Too busy wanting looks over function, and the false praise of others too stupid to know better.
