oil pressure gauge installation

[dellerie]

evening people. i have all the required parts to install an oil pressure gauge. it's the mechanical set up.

could someone post a picture of the best way to attach the sensor to the block using the adaptor.

thanks.

Sensor ? It should be a pipe - and a T piece, so you can retain the switch for the warning light. Declan had some good pics up recently - search back!

you people are brilliant. that has answered my question. i have that tee piece and the pipe and the gauge. i needed to know where to fit the pipe and sender. i now see the sender goes in the end and the pipe connector goes nearest the block.

tommorrow's job is now sorted.

i have to do this too not done it yet.

[dellerie]

easy job. works fine.



on tick over when it's cold, it shows just over 50 psi. is that about right?

Well done - cold oil pressure means nothing - it's HOT oil pressure that matters.
