Oil Pressure "T" Piece but make sure you get a good quality one, or Sump Plug Sensor Adaptor.

Fil

no but that might do.

the thing im on about, looks a bit like a large bolt, screwed into the engine block 1/8npt thread, where the factory oil light sensor went, then gave you two femal 1/8 threads to add the two new gauge sensors.



got the gauges, but left this lump in an engine i sold years ago by mistake, looking to wire the gauges back up and fit them to my cosworth

Fil

we have a winner T was the thing that sliped my mind, tried twin, duel, double, but not T !

Fil

And i take it the 1/8 NPT fitting is correct for a cosworth block ?

Fil

went for a sandwich plate

Nooooooo........ lol

well that failed. sandwich plate is too thin. as when I put it on and do up the extention threaded piece that clamps it tight, it bottoms out before the sandwich plate is tight!

can you get thicker ones then?

or back to the extention T piece? where the oil light sensor on the 4x4 cosworth lump?

Machine or cut some threads off and pop a copper washer on it'll be fine

I've got an escort cossie one you can have?

Fil

Not got access to anything like that, plus would have to get involved and take the filter arm off the car.




That would be great, is it thicker than 29mm then , as thats what ive got and seems thats what most are around thinkness wise.

Think it would need to be a min of 35mm.

It's not a sandwich plate mate, it's a fitting that screws into the block where the original oil pressure switch goes.

Like this (the one on the left):
