One of my other projects this winter is to get an oil pressure gauge installed. I want to use the dual-sender unit (can purchase from PP or wherever).
I have read before that some people take out the original sender and install a hose and then attach the dual-sender to that hose. Of course, wiring from there to your gauge and idiot light. For those that have done this: 1. What kind of hose? And size of hose ends? 2. Where did you mount the sender and how? Pic helpful.... TIA... |

Let me be the 1st to suggest the also readily available and cheap and available in various lengths..... THE PAINT BALL GUN HOSE. Shit storm or not, it is perfect. Been to long since I knew all the thread sizes, but it works. Someone will speak up, if not get with me and I'll pull out my files.
I ran the hose up to the fan and made a small "L" bracket, used one of the fan screws to attach it. even use the OEM oil pressure wire on my VDO sending unit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/post-2-1117899824.gif) Follow the metal braided hose.    |
