Hi everybody,
I want to fit an oil pressure gauge to my scooby, but I don't want to fit it instead of the low pressure warning light switch (ie I want both a gauge and a light to come on if my oil pressure drops) is there anywhere else to fit the gauge sended unit ?
Cheers,
Mike.

Mike i'm doing this now. I tried posting and got little info so i've worked it out myself. If you buy the fitting kit from Graham Goode racing, you remove the existing sensor, fit the new supplied T-piece and hose, and refit the sensor into the t-piece. The kit comes with a braided hose fitted with connectors on each end.It cost me £40 all-in.

Cheers Mark,
could you tell me
1) what make of pres gauge are you fitting and is it elec or mech ?
2) does the T piece fit directly into the block and the original sender fit onto one side (of the T) and the extension hose onto the other side ?
thanks for the info,
Mike.

I'm fitting a Racetech capillary gauge. Getting it from Merlin motorsport. Yes the T goes directly into the block. The existing sensor fits into the top of the T and the feed comes off the side.
Pretty good quality stuff. Mark
