This is interesting. I've been putting some effort into trying to maintain the stock pressure switch (waiting on the T-fittings is why it's not done yet). If I can just delete the OEM switch and put the defi sender into the hole (with a BSP->NPT adapter), it will save me some headache. I'll also sleep a little better at night without worrying about two sensors hanging off of a tee, bouncing around on the highway. Thanks for sharing that.

First, I was looking for some redundancy. By re-installing the factory sensor, I had some back-up in the event that the Defi sensor/gauge ever malfunctioned. It was for ease of mind. Second, the Defi sensor is configured such that it can't be installed using a socket (standard and/or deep). It becomes obvious why once you have it in your hand. And, I found that there wasn't enough room to tighten it into the factory port using a standard open-ended wrench. You might be able to install it using a crow-foot wrench ... but I opted instead to simply purchase an oil filter sandwich plate and install the sensor in one of the ports in the plate. I had to purchase an adapter since the female port thread was 1/8 NPT and the male sensor thread was 1/8 BSP (i.e., the Defi sensor thread is metric). |

It's interesting that your Defi gauge is 1/8 BSP; which do you have? I have the Defi BF Advance, and the manual is saying it's 1/8 NPT. |
