Default oil pressure gauges

are these easy to fit? do they need to be drilled into the block or can the feed be taken off something else like the oil pressure switch?

Somebody told me that you can buy a sandwich plate that goes in behind the filter to get the pressure from.

please help i am a cabbage when it comes to mechanics..lol

The adaptor is much easier from burtons me thinks!! Just screws in where the pressure switch goes! The gauge and pressure switch goes back into this!
