Default oil temp gauge fitting kit

i have a second hand depo oil temp gauge with a pod that i want to fit but it was fitted via the sump so the wires hang down which im not keen on really

where can i find (and what am i looking for) the proper kit to fit it to the actual block?

cheers

EBAY you need a cyl 3 block adapter for oil temp gauge. Sump location can be OK but gives low readings cyl 3 is best, Iv used both & have stuck with cyl 3.

The oil pressure gauge goes in tandem with the OE oil pressure switch under the alternator. When I first fitted a oil pressure gauge I used a remote unit from Demon tweeks but it looks unsightly. I recently got a new set of gauges from Scoobyclinic and got their own designed adaptor and it looks 1000000% better. Can post a picture tomorrow night if you want.

I ditched the OEM pressure sensor or engine fcuked light as its known as its not really needed on the Newage with a oil pressure gauge, All IMO of course.

As above on a classic: my oil pressure SWITCH is on a shelf in the garage.
