Already have a sandwich plate for my oil cooler and another one would make the oil filter foul something important.
Dont really fancy remote filter heading the engine as its a massive faf and expense.
How else could i get readings?
if i T piece my oil cooler lines, the readings will only work when the thermostatic sandwich plate is open, which is ok i guess however a bit of a bodge...
Any ideas?

for oil pressure id just use a sender from a nova/calibra models that came with the oil pressure gauge as theres 2 terminals on it 1 for the warning light and the other for the gauge
as for oil temp ive no idea, i did see one that had the sump drill and a bolt welded on and the sender just bolted in but never did like the idea myself

havent seen his new set up, with the oil cooler and remote filter yet
but previouly the sandwich plate (just a sandwich plate for gauges) had 6 holes to fit sensors
although, i now gert what your trying to say, you have a oil cooler take off, and can fit a gauge plate!

you could get a oil pressure/temp gauge to fit where the pressure switch is?

Ooooo, now we're cooking....
its already space out for the turbo oil feed, i guess spacing it out further wont do the pressure switch any harm?

ah, yes, forgot about you already have a feed for the turbo off that!
maybe you can drill and tap a thread into the currant one, like shown in the pic?
