Ive recently installed my pressure gauge sender, at the moment it is temporarily tie wrapped to the alternator bracket. I thought this might affect readings being so close to the front of the engine bay, but its giving good readings.

The braided hose it is attached to isnt very long, it was already on the car from a previous gauge install by the previous owner, and due to the lack of room around the alternator on the left because of the T-Piece it has to go on the near side of the engine bay.

My Dad suggested fabricating a bracket and mounting it infront of the timing belt cover, im thinking this might be awkward come service time.

So where have people mounted theirs? Pics would be good!

There are numerous bung plugs around the block which can be used for sensors. I have a SPA dual gauge, the pressure is in a plug above no 3 cylinder and the temp is on a boss between the filter and block. The sensors from spa are much smaller than the one in your piccy.
