DIY: Oil Pressure Gauge

Well I ordered all 1/8 NPT stuff, we'll see how things look in person when I try to put this together during an oil change in a week and a half or so, assuming everything arrives on time.

One of the reasons I haven't done it yet (conflicting information)

At a 1/8th size the two are so close to each other that it is really difficult to tell the difference. Interested to see what you find out.

My car ended up being BSPT, and I've posted up the writeup on the sensor part of it here: wstar's Journal. Just part numbers and pics and tips, not a full DIY, since there's already a good one here

First of all - thanks for all the DIY write-ups on this forum- I wanted to add my 2 cents on where i installed my Oil Pressure Gauge.

I wanted to keep my cubby door so i decided to install the gauge on the door.
The door consist of 2 parts, the backing and a leather wrapped peice which can be removed by unscrewing a few small screws.
