I've abandoned my idea of a pyrex sight gauge.  I'd been focusing on protecting the pyrex where it is on the visible side of the instrument panel, and think that's doable.  However, when I thought about how to keep the stubs on the back side from snapping off when snagging the tygon and giving it a good yank, or just whacking it with your foot or coffee thermos or whatnot, I couldn't convince myself that it could be made adequately safe.
