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.

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.
