Where can I get an oil pressure sender to replace the OE part to work with a pressure gauge ?

Can anyone help.

Depends which gauge, I got one from Le Mans motorsport

Most gauges come with the sender, don't they?


If not, try whoever sold it you, first.

I did get one but it did not fit under altenator and whilst trying to fit it I sort of damaged the sender. Ooops

As mentioned, LeMans do a suitable tee-piece so you can have the OE pressure switch working as well.
From experience! - make sure it screws in at least 3 turns and use ptfe tape!

Sounds like you need the extension pipe and fittings as well as a new sender, What make are the gauges??

For the pipe extension have a look on chiarks site, ( http://www.chiark.co.uk/scooby/gauges_pressure.asp ) it gives the part numbers to ask for or phone Le Mans Motorsport and they will sort you out, that’s what I did and it works a treat.

Just a cheap job I picked up off ebay.

Did not think sender would have to match gauge though. Thanks for the advise on an extension.

Think it depends on the sender unit range i.e. 0 - 100 or some are 0 - 150 etc.

As prev said "use lots of PTFE" and be careful when screwing the adaptor in too much and snap, not enough and leak city
