Default Fitting autogages.

Can anyone help. Am fitting 3 gauges and need help fitting oil temp and oil pressure. Read lots of threads about Sandwich plates. The sensor for the oil pressure gauge is really big and has a thread 1/8-27 npt. Where can i get an adaptor to fit it. or do the sandwich plates from scoobyworld have the same thread size?

i bought a sandwich plate from ebay (seen the same type in other scooby traders thought) the senders fitted in easily, once we had removed some of the heat shield.

Hi mate,

I bought one of these from demon tweeks to move the pressure reg out of the way as its too large to get in around the sandwich plate:

When you get it you can pop rivet the bracket that comes with it to the left hand side lower mounting bracket on the radiator, its just the right distance away...

Also dont forget to use some ptfe tape (plumbers tape) when screwing things into the sandwich plate as they tend to leak.
