One of my other projects this winter is to get an oil pressure gauge installed. I want to use the dual-sender unit (can purchase from PP or wherever).
I have read before that some people take out the original sender and install a hose and then attach the dual-sender to that hose. Of course, wiring from there to your gauge and idiot light. For those that have done this:
1. What kind of hose? And size of hose ends?
2. Where did you mount the sender and how? Pic helpful....
TIA...
Stand back, a shitstorm is likely about to happen. Personally, I use a readily available grease gun hose with a 1/8"NPT male fitting on at least one end. Some say a paintball hose works. You have to wire a ground for the sending unit housing. I mount them on the fan shroud, using a plastic covered ring clamp, like the ones used to route hoses and wires in a hot rod. I've done this on a lot of cars over the years and it works well. Be sure the sender you use matches the characteristics of the gauge, and the cutoff pressure for the lamp.
