Gauges help

[munchkin13]

Guy looking for some advice,
Looking to put a oil temperature gauge and also a coolant gauge into my track car

Now the oil one I could put the sensor in the sumo plug m14/1.5 thread which I think would work?

But the coolant one hoe would I be able to put s sensor in or pick up from the existing one?

Thanks in advance
Matt

for the coolant one, you can get an alloy joiner that goes in the coolant pipes with a threaded hole for a sensor.
I think ASH sell them

You sir are a diamond my mate said he seen them but didn't know where

You couldn't shed any light if the oil one will work?

it's the way I'd do it, either that or on a sandwhich plate off the filter.
I've not run one myself, but I do have the oil pressure T'd off alongside the standard pressure switch

May you be able to picture how you done the oil pressure one?

We are able to offer the parts you need to install an oil pressure & temperature gauge. We do the gauges, and the parts to fit them, using a sump plug adaptor for the temp and a t-piece for the pressure gauge. I have them both set up in my Clio and they work perfectly.
The parts we do can be found here:

I used the oil pressure T piece as shown on the MLR website, but with a 0.5m braided hose extension as the T-piece alone pointed the gauge sender into the oil filter.
