Default Fitting Oil Pressure Gauge

Just after a little advice, plumbed in the gauge and feed the hose through to the engine bay, gona connect it all up this wkend.

The gauge came with a three way adapter, with one male thread at the bottom and two different sized female threads either side. Am i right in saying that the three way adapter screws in place of the standard oil pressure switch, then the switch screws into the adapter, then finally the hose leading from the gauge screws into the other side of the adapter.

It's time's like this i wish i had a digital camera to illustrate my explanations.

If anyone who has fitted an oil pressure gauge can offer any advise i would be very grateful, also any positive or negative comments about installing an oil pressure gauge i.e. "they are a nightmare don't fit one" that kind of thing, i also would be grateful.

CheeRS guys

Yes youre correct,its an ok job to do,just a little difficult as its at the back of the block,scraped knuckles etc.May be easier getting to it from beneath the car.Regards Micky
