I getting progress to tap into the sump so I can fit an oil temperature gauge.

 

I think most of these type gauges all use the same fitting? can someone confirm what type and where I might get one asap.

 

Thanks

Most likely to be 1/8BSP fitting. Tried the traders on this site?

Got mine from here, very good quality and good guy who runs the show.

another nice solution, so you won't have to start drilling holes in the sump:

 

 

"The billet aluminum oil sandwich adapter is installed above the oil filter, and makes it easy to install aftermarket oil temp/pressure sensors (2 1/8 PT ports and 1 12mm port). Even comes with installation tools. Lowers oil filter by 27mm."

Have thought about this one but as you say,anyone got one,i have a sump temp sender ,and would now like to sort out the aftermarket pressure gauge but allways putting it of :rolleyes:

I bought a oil pressure guage off of Chris but didn't realise it came without a sensor adaptor. Chris supplied me with a greddy oil temp adaptor which was really good. I even managed to get the oil temperature guage sensor fitted into it.

It does look like a good idea, though I think it would depend on the shape of the sensor you use. I only say this as I tried to connect my oil pressure sender in the US location above the oil filter and it fouled the steering U/J.

 

Put it all together again and I couldn't steer - seriously unimpressed!
