Yup, better to make your own.

Might be different from one C5 to the next. On my 2001 Z06, the stock harness was long enough to reach the location where my relocated oil pressure sender now resides.

I made these a few years ago and have some fittings left over. I would like to get rid of these that I have left if anyone is interested. There aren't as many connection points as most of the kits available on the market, which means less possible leaks. There is a single fitting with a crush washer at the engine, then a stainless flexline going to a manifold type fitting. The manifold has two 1/8 npt open ports and then an open port on the end for the oil pressure sender. I used one of the ports for a 90 degree fitting connecting to the flexline going to the engine fitting and the other port for a liquid filled gauge. The are also two mount holes on the bottom to mount the manifold. I made a small bracket and mounted it under the left /driver side cover. I may still have some of the 90 degree fittings, plugs (if you don't add a liquid filled gauge), and possibly some gauges. I mostly have the machined engine fittings and the machined manifolds. Everything was machined from 6061-t6 aluminum and then anodized black to protect them from the elements. If anyone's interested send me a message.
