Default oil pressure t piece

anyone reccomend one for a 4x4 engine, ive bought a new oil pressure switch off mat lewis and its slightly longer than the standard on so cant be fitted in my t piece anymore along with my guage as it fouls the oil filter!
anyone reccomend a shorter one the one i have is 50mm in length then the switch length on top or is there somewhere else i can tee into on the block for my guage?
