I'm uncomfortable with just an idiot light and am planning to install an oil pressure gauge in place of my clock. I had two questions.
1. 80 vs 150PSI? I assume I want an 80PSI (5 bar) gauge (VDO-350040), right? I can't imagine needing a 150PSI gauge. 2. Will the sender go in the idiot light switch hole? I assume a M10x1 mount pressure sender with switch ( VDO-360006) will fit into the hole of the original switch. Right? Can I just screw the pressure sender into the same hole? or are are there interference issues? I know some people have used a hose to relocate the sender, but I'd rather not have an oil hose if I can help it. Summit Racing seems to have these parts at a good price. ----Bill |

yes, the hole in the tin is not large enough to support the wider dual senders... you can hack your tin, or you can buy the extension hose as shown |
