will one of these remote oil pressure t-piece fit ?

Found that access and removing and fitting oil pressure switch T-Piece ( for gauge ) on automatic to be a right pain.
For future reference would any of these fit to make it more accessible ?

Did you use one Trev ?

Hi Trev, Be careful!, using a fitting from a Japanese or European vehicle as the threads may well be metric and not BSP as the Stag is.

The oil transfer housing has two bosses on it. One is drilled and tapped for the original oil pressure switch but the other is left blank. I've drilled and tapped that one (BSP) for my OPG take off so that switch and OPG have their own holes.

Mine's a manual but I wonder if this might work and help access on an auto ?

No Sam, put T piece on but leaked so had to go through stripping and refitting again so thought of one of those on link would be an idea but fingers crossed...so far not leaking this time.

Trev,

Like me you may find that the manual boys wonder what all the fuss is about, but fitting the oil gauge to an auto is a real PITA. I'll look up what I used and get back to you.

One thing I can warn you of for sure is that if you have that nasty cheap nylon capilliary tube with your gauge, chuck it in the bin before even trying to fit it without the inevitable kinks forming. I bought and fitted copper tube instead (a roll of it actually) and it's perfect.

Good Luck

Steve
