StanMan Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I have been doing a bit of searching as to putting in an oil temp gauge. However all the posts I find are old and the images/links don't work. As far as I can tell, the best way to do it is to get a 1/8th BSPT t-piece and relocate the oil pressure sender? Would THIS do the trick? Bit concerned as to the length of the line messing with the pressure reading. Or would something like THIS be more suited? Thinking about it will a temp sender even fit? Sorry if this has been asked and answered loads of times before and I cant find the post. Edited November 30, 2016 by StanMan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It may pay to narrow down what oil temp sensor you are going to use first, some of them are quite long and wont work in those links you showed. I have used these http://www.nzefi.com/product/bosch-engine-oil-temperature-sensor/ and these http://www.nzefi.com/product/oil-temperature-sensor-with-right-angle-connector/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
