hi peeps.

ive bought a second hand oil pressure guage (not fuel) as i got confused before :dance: i was advised to buy a oil pressure sandwhich plate which i recieved 2day. after speaking to a mate of mine he told me this is no good as my guage is electronic and not manual?? then told me to wire my gauge into the standard oil pressure guage wiring on the speedo is this true? all i thought i had to do is buy a oil pressure sender unit now to screw into the sandwhich plate am i right?

regards dan

Your mate's wrong! The range of the oem oil pressure sender is unlikely to match your aftermarket one, so you need to put the aftermarket sender into the sandwich plate. If the threads don't match you may struggle, but you can get adapters...

it needs to match the gauge - should really have come with it! What make's the gauge? Should be able to order a replacement from a stockist...
