why would the pressure drop if wired correct and if you brought a new gauge would come with the sender !

I've got the 2wd so can't use the sandwich plate may just go for all manual gauges. I know you can get a sump plug adapter for the oil temp.

Electric ones can be 100% accurate, after all we all trust the CTS, to read correctly and keep out fuelling right which works on EXACTLY the same principle, ie thermistor.
I like and only use lecky ones due to there being NO way a mechanical oil pipe supply to the gauge can break!!
2wd can be used with sandwich plate AND temp and pressure sender if you want, otherwise just buy suitable extension from existing pressure switch hole.
I have a drilled fitting on my sump for a temp sender, as well as on oil cooler, on the nearside, loads of room there.
If you send me a sump plug I'll drill and tap it 1/8 NPT-27 for you FOC, also got 1/4 NPT-20 size taps, this is the pressure switch size used on the YB, also got 5/16 and 3/8 taps in LEFT hand tap as well as right if anyone needs a adjuster rod making up etc.

google vdo from merlin motersport as i say ive had no troubles with mine and i have an oil pressure oil temp and a 3 bar boost gauge when mine was last set up it was set at 2.6 bar of boost and the vdo gauge sits dead on 2.6 bar the temp gauge readings are realistic and the pressure gauge was as i say the same as our workshop one!
