You will need something to screw into the existing pressure switch hole.

If you still want the light on the dash to work you will need a splitter so both can be fitted

The oil pressure switch is a 1/8 BSP thread (also known as BSPT, British Standard Pipe Taper thread) you can get T-pieces to fit that so you can still run the original warning light as well :thumbup:

Something like this http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p3656 ... _info.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It does depend on the thread required for the pressure gauge.

I think the adaptor I linked to above should be the right one. Assuming all SJ pressure switch threads are 1/8 bspt (I have no idea!)

Tom, I could go grab you one from merlin its 5mins from my house and post it out to you if you want, would work out cheaper, royal mail would be like £1 tops

And as far as I'm aware all G series blocks have the same thread :thumbup:
