Oil Pressure Gauge Sender Kit? Options

[BillJ]

I recently picked up a oil pressure gauge for my center console and need to get the sender side. Does anyone make a nice kit that works with our type 4s? Have seen a custom setup with using the oil pressure sensor port and creating a "t" to use both and can probably piece that together myself but a plug and play solution would be nice too. I have a VDO gauge that runs from 0-60psi and 0-5 kgf/cm2 and labeled on face with "I" at the 12 o'clock position and "522" at the 2 o'clock position. back has 3 spades.

I would like to preserve the light as well in the dash so having a solution for both is important to me.

Any help appreciated!

Hi @BillJ , thought I'd post a picture of what I did. Before you hook up the idiot light sender, you might want to put a mechanical gauge on that port to compare to your VDO electric gauge. Just as an example, I was getting 4~6 psi at hot (215F) 1000 rpm idle on the VDO while I was getting 12 psi on my mechanical gauge. The VDO seems to read low throughout the range. Not a big deal, just nice to know you have oil pressure even though the gauge may not indicate so (at low rpm and hot days). If you're curious that's a 928 brake line.

The 928 brake line works great.
I used it after the standpipe broke and sprayed oil all over the engine.
