Best manner to mount oil pressure sensor, Mine broke off Options

[HansJan]

So I suddenly lost all oil pressure doing 70 on the freeway.
After pulling of at next exit I find that the tube to the pressure sensor has broken off and let all oil spray out (no oil left in the engine).

At the moment I have to find a way to get the remaining piece of pipe out of the engine block, without dropping brass chips in the block.

I could then get another brass tube and reinstate it. However, it might be better to come with a way where the oil tube is not also responsible for keeping the sensor in place.

I’m thinking of making a short hose of some kind and creating a mounting bracket to the sensor somehow.
Would you be so kind to show me your solution?

It's an M10 tapered, but 1/8" NPT will seal fine.

On the other hand, it's a simple matter to run a 1/8" NPT tap in there, greased liberally to snag the small chips.

I do not like fixed mounts, for reasons stated above. I know that people have used it successfully but there's a reason that it's not acceptable for aircraft (and you experienced why).

The flex hoses are not expensive, and the sensors are easy to mount on the cooling tin.
