   Chaps, I want to plumb in an oil pressure and temp sensor, where's the best place for these?
   
   Cheers

   If it's a oil filter that is a canister & not a paper one just get a sandwich plate

   Oil pressure to the side of the head near thermostat iirc and temperature sensor I would use the sump,either re use the original one or make a new thread

   For temp I used a sandwich plate.
   For pressure I used a remote location pipe after reading the sensors can fail from engine vibration.
   It just plumbed into the block where the current one is with a banjo fitting.

   I'm running a mocal oil cooler so a sandwich plate is an option.
   
   I think I'll go back of sump for temp, existing pressure point for pressure and a long relocatey thing for this so it doesn't vibrate, cheers!

   I can't remember the size or which part number it is but I used one of these, http://www.lmaautoparts.com/products...PIECE_KIT_M12/ with the banjo fitting.
   
   I then made a bracket so it mounts to the chassis by the radiator.
