Thumbs up Oil pressure & temperature senders??

As above..

Where abouts on the engine should I install the senders?

A guide/pics would be very useful.

Thanks

Is there room to put a tee piece into where the OEM oil pressure switch goes? That way you can retain the standard switch and add the gauge too.

Probably less important where you have something like a SPA or Defi with alarms but for a conventional oil pressure gauge a light on the dash right in front of you prompting you to look at the gauge is well helpful. The point about the standard switch not kicking in until too late is also valid so perhaps a change to a high pressure switch for the dash warning light would give the best of both worlds.

Think Automotive have tees and high pressure switches as well as every adaptor you could possibly want. Think are here

Although i havn't done it myself, i'm told the LeMans Motorsport adapter LMA095 does fit. When i've got a moment i think i'm going to reinstall the oe oil pressure light as an addition.
