I have some pics on my website, but it's not for Defi's. Does show you pics of where to fit them and what the OE thread sizes are.

I think Nick (Chiark) covers the Defi's on his website.

Don't think you need anything special for the Temp as it should fit under the IC above #3 cylinder. I think you may need to use some extra hosing for the pressure sender as it's pretty tight under the alternator and may not fit.

You could use a sandwich plate which fits between the block and ol filter. The two sensors screw into it for oil temp and pressure. The added advantage is that you don't need to remove the OEM sensors and they are very easy to fit and remove.

I know Powerstation do them about £50.

The OE Sensor is next to useless. It comes on at some ridiculously low reading (10psi IIRC). By that time your engines probably ready for the scrap yard.

Le Mans Motorsport will do a T-Piece adaptor that will allow you to run the Defi + OE Pressure senders for a few quid. You shouldn't have to pay anywhere near £50 to be honest.

defi pressure sender fits under alternator into where the oem sender fits, so straight replacement.

defi temp sensor i have above no3 near turbo, and you need an adaptor for it to screw into.

And to add to the above, the adaptor is available from Scoobymania, amongst others.
