Default problem with oil sensor gauge tube..need help

i recently install an oil pressure gauge in my 2004 s2000 supercharged...but the brass tubing that is used to hook up the gauge keeps breaking... the tubing that connects to the engine block...is the one that keeps breaking. any suggestion? advice?

Is it breaking due to the weight of the oil pressure sender? Happened to me before and I decided to get a greddy oil filter block adapter that goes between the oil filter and block. Has like 3 spots to tap into the oil there.
So I got my oil supply for my supercharger from there and for my oil pressure gauge. Can maintain the oem oil pressure light as well this way.

This is what I got.

Yeah none what so ever. Mostly likely the fitting is breaking from the weight of the oil pressure sender sticking out. With this it goes straight into the oil filter block adapter and prevents that from happening!
Plus can tap all different things into there so very nice part tot have!
