Running gauge lines

I've got an Autogage mechanical water temp./oil press. gauge set mounted under the center dash vents. Only problem I have run into is running the lines through the dash/firewall. I know I should just run them through an existing hole in the firewall (one that wires go through, ect.), but don't have enough line to do that.

I would like to finish the install before 6pm tonight (MST), so If anyone has done this before and is willing to give me some help, it would be greatly appreciated! =)

i put in a water temp gauage recently, and i mounted the gauge next to my radio, and ran the line under the dash and through the firwall in the top right corner, and had just enough room. maybe an inch or two to spare. the only thing i can think of is if you drilled a new hole closer, but i would def try and find another way.

I've seriously thought about that, but i don't think I have enough line on the to do that with the water temp gauge... I might have enough to run the oil like that, but i dunno...
