   Hia guys, the engine is almost ready to go back into the vtr, ive got the oil feed from a gallery in the block and modified the sump fo oil return, however im struggling to find somewhere to take an oil pressure switch from and to take my oil pressure gauge from?

   Where did you take it from? The sensor on the front of the block?

   Just for search purposes;
   
   You can use a sandwich plate between the oil filter and block which has take offs for different things such as gauges, turbos, coolers etc.
