Those of you who use the 911 pressure gauge how did you fit the sensors?
It looks like the temp sensor will be a straight fit for the stock on on the bottom of the engine but I havnt tried the threads yet. I've got a gauge from a '79 911 and the pressure sensor had a way bigger threaded connector than I expected, something like an M18x1,5 or so. Anyone using the same and how did you connect it?

Yes I'm planning on routing a hose from the case to a T-fitting or getting a sender with both the light and gauge connectors. Just need to find out what senders match my gauge... My gauge has a blue stamp on the back staying "986 5.79" which I interpreted as may 1979.....

I have always matched the senders to the max of the gauges,I tested mine for accuracy with new 52mm VDO gauges I had and found them to be very close to my 911 one.
You may have an issue matching the 911 gauge as I don't believe the T4 generates as much oil pressure...I don't really know to be honest but it could be out of range (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ,there was a 911 pressure gauge insert that read 5 bar max but I don't recall what MY 911 that was on.
