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?

brass stand off pipes will work harden and crack
many many people have learned this the hard way
you do not want to use pipes... the flex hose is the correct method.


they sell an M1.0 x NPT conversion fitting.
I bought one from somewhere.... belmetric ?
or use the NPT if you want

note: when you mount your sender on the end of the flex hose.
you will need to add a ground to your sender bracket as the sender used to ground through the pipe's you were using.

This is an age old problem
the flex hose has been the solution for 25 years
