My steel fitting finally arrived from drift motion and I will install tomorrow.
I contacted Z1 one and told them about my failure, and of course I'm the
first one that happened to, that they know of.
Looking at the pressure sensor and the fitting now it sure looks like a disaster
waiting to happen.

I re-threaded a mines for NPT and stuck a GM style 3 pin pressure sensor in there. Once you have actual pressures the oil light is useless, wire it so it doesn't throw a light and relay on the actual pressures.

No matter what those type of senders shouldn't be used in that location due to size of the unit, plenty of units that use the type of sensor I used.
