Also, will a stainless braided brake line work to connect the sender to the sensing port on the block?
Thanks Rich

Did you read the description of the sender?
"We don't feel that the VDO 80psi Oil Pressure, 1/8-27 NPTF, Dual Pole Sending Unit is the "right" sender to use for aircooled VW Engines because the oil light comes on at too high a pressure. Stock is 2psi, this comes on at 7-8psi."
Sounds like it will work electrically but your light will be on at any pressure less than 7psi.

I figure that's ok since the only time it'll be @ 7psi is at idle.

I used a braided hose from a paint ball store. Use some hightemp thread sealant on the threads.
