Some help please guys.

 

I am looking to install the above gauges. Do they use separate senders, and if so where is the best locations for installation.

 

Many thanks,

 

Simon.

The gauges I have use one sender each but they came with a 4 way block so you can use the original pressure sender fitting to fit all three (if you keep the original pressure sender for the OEM gauge). This assumes there is room for this assembly in the original sender location, I haven't fitted mine yet.

 

The only way one sender could be used is if it contained both temp and pressure sensors, so it would be two senders just housed together. This is because the principle used to convert temp / press to an electrical signal is different for each property. If such a thing exists and you replaced the OEM pressure sender with it then you would loose function to the dash mounted press gauge, no real biggy as you'd have your after market gauge.

Does anyone know if you should use plumbers tape to seal the threads? Is there any risk having small bits of PTFE in the oil (some is sure to come adrift).

 

Don't mean to hijack your thread Simax, this might help you also.
