Replaced oil pressure switch, capped vestigial oil hose

One of the terminals on the oil pressure switch that triggers the low pressure alarm broke off.  The oil switch is mounted to a little manifold; also mounted to this manifold was a foot long hose that served no purpose.  I took it off and capped the hole with a bronze stopper (before I did, I called Sherri at Transatlantic Diesel to double check–too often we take something off that we don’t understand only to later realize that there was a good reason for it).
