The other sender is a better location in my opinion anyway. Easier to get at. I have never used the hose installation. 1/8" pipe threads seal OK with teflon tape. Tee in your stock switch into the line. I used all 1/8" NPT fittings. Mechanical is cheaper, electrical gives quicker response. Make sure you get 0-100 psi range. Jay

Any advice on installing an oil pressure guage in my '89 westy? I got the VDO gauge, sender, and extention adaptor from Bus Depot. I've tried the archives on this with no luck. That oil pressure sender on the back of the engine looks really hard to get to. And then I wonder where do you locate the new sender? The extention is a fexible tube but it looks to me like it'd be very close to a couple of v belts there. What about putting it in place of the other oil sender (the one by the left head)? If anyone's done this job I'd love to hear about it. Thanks-Michael
