DIY: Oil Pressure Gauge

spearfish25

I initially planned to use the fittings in the links. But when I had the car in the air and the OEM sensor off, the T-adapter with male BSP thread wouldn't screw into the car's female socket. Turns out mine was defective. So I had to improvise and use a few more fittings that added length to the overall assembly. To answer your question though, I'm not concerned about bumps. The weight of the fittings and sensors is negligible, so there is very little torque on it. I suppose if both of my front sway endlinks broke at the same time the sway bar could pivot and hit it. But thats a long shot. An alternative is to install a three way female T adapter via a male-male fitting off the central port of the T...less lever arm that way. If you're really nuts about it, you can just install an extension tube and mount the pressure sender remotely.


Thanks buddy. If the scangauge can read an analog signal, we could install one for you in a remote location and then run the signal wires to your scangauge. That would be pretty slick.
