:doublethumbs: depending what oil pressure sender you have it might be best to use one of the remote T-pieces, I can't use one of the normal ones as when its done up tight the oil pressure sender won't screw in as the oil filter is too close :thumbdown:

Iirc the water temp sender is 1/8x28bsp

The electric pressure gauges still need a t piece as the temperature sender is 1/8npt but the advantage of an electric one Is you don't have to run a copper capillary tube through which looks messy and is not very flexible. But I opted for this type as it was cheaper :smokin:
