Evening all,

So, will all the recent posts on 'what oil' and oil pressure for our pride and joy's, I took note and today bought myself Millers 10 50 and a unboxed a set of guages I bought ages ago.

The oil pressure gauge has a part which gets 'sandwiched' between the oil cooler and the filter. Looks like a well made piece of kit it Aluminium.

The problem I could see straight away.... the engine mount arm.
Ford has given me the wrong filter to start with which is too long However, this is where I could forsee the problem. Together with the smaller stubby/original filter, its still catching the arm.

What did you guys do??

BTW - the oil pressure switch, that on the O/S just above the sump ??

 

My gauge sender go,s to the same place the oil light swith and turbo oil feed pipe go to via a 3 way adaptor I got from ebay

 

Yes, you have a 2WD and you had a 4x4 filter.

Yes exactly as you say re the pressure switch.

Slightly different but I had my switch 'Teed' so I could have a pressure switch as well as the sender, thats not the answer in your case though as the sandwich plate should work, is it defiantly the correct one?

Yes mate, came from a PF member and from their cossie too.... apparently!

 

Was their engine chassis mounted? If so would have created enough clearance.

 

nooooooooooooooot a clue mate....was wondering if there was such a mod where there is an angled filter housing to allow for not only this , but a larger oil filter too?!
