Got my Y-piece at the local Ford dealership, quite cheap (£15), think its from the Escos and give better clearance than a T-piece.

I tried a t-piece from demon tweaks and also R&B and neither gave enough clearance when using an electric oil pressure sender (for a Tim gauge). In the end I bought a remote t-piece on the end of a 2 foot pipe. Much better way of doing it as its pretty cramped by the take off on the block.

well, i use a electronic sender for a SPA gauge, so will it work?

dojj Not that easy mate. My s1 currently has the sandwich plate setup, but on cossies they have a oil cooler before the filter already, so i dont think there would be enough room for another plate in there.
