Oil Temp n Pressure sender locations

[andyrose]

Got myself a couple on new gauges for my centre pod.
Oil Temp and Pressure. yippeeeee!
Anyone have any ideas as to the best place to fit the temp and pressure senders under the bonnet.
I have had a look but im stuck
Many thanks

Easiest way seems to be a Greddy plate that goes between the oil filter and block, it will take both sensors.

....and probably leak!

Here is the thread I was thinking of:

Didn\'t know they leaked

I have oil temp tapped into the Banjo bolt by the oil filter but I guess there is not room to tap oil pressure there as well?

Ian\'s was the one I was thinking of

I\'m sure they are generally unproblematic (I imagine there are loads of them fitted?), I expect think auto do some thing simliar/cheaper may be?

I am getting an oil temp/pressure gauge fitted right now, as soon as its in I can post details of what they did if you want?

No worries mate, I have to phone them tomorrow and check the progress, will get some details and try and get some pics later on for what they done.  Hoping they know exactly what there doing!

Oi!
Wasnt the plate that leaked bud, was one of the fittings. And that was because it was broken! Cost me fifty squids to get another machined cause you cant get one of the shelf. The bloke that made it was a right :bandit

This is the GReddy sandwich plate. Has threaded holes for both electrical oil temp and pressure, I think Demon Tweaks now sell them, but for £70 . Mocal are meant to be making one and it should be around £25-£30, the guy to speak to is Mathew Potter, check Mocal for contact details. I never managed to get through to him, so just copied the GReddy design and made one from billet Aluminium

Hope that helps, Paul:)

Hey Andy, spoke to the garage today and they reckon its a time consuming job and require additional bits, I reckon like the pic above so instead of going ahead I decided to leave it for now.  Sorry mate, if I get any info in the future and your still looking wil post it.

Cheers Kevin appreciate it

that helps a lot. looks pretty straight forward enough so it sohuldnt be hard hard to do.

Finally got round to making my sandwich plate. Better late than never I guess:rolleyes:

Not quite as bling as the GReddy one, but here it is:

Looking good. Mocal do a sandwich plate.

The one problem I found was that the oil filter was hitting a screw on the bulkhead side of the inlet manifold.
