i think what some people do is buy a sandwich plate that goes in between the oil filter and engine block..you have 2 holes..1 for oil pressure and the other for oil temp. look on ebay for sandwhich plate

i suppose they are both the same when it comes to difficulty in fitting but the advantage with a sandwhich plate is that you get the option of adding an oil temp sensor later on if you want to. By the way, if you do a search for sandwhich plate on ebay, all you will get is results like `royal doulton and tea cup set with sandwhich plate`  :rollin   put `oil` in front of sandwhich plate and you`ll get the proper results. A bloke sells them on there mainly for fords, but i sent him a message once and he does sell them for an rx7 at £25.
