When I installed the dual sender I also bought the adapter kit from
Bus Boys and it works well for me.

I made a hole in the tin and attached the sender to the lower engine
mount using the adapter kit hose.  Works like a charm.  Vibrates with
the engine nicely and no leaks.  I love seeing the actual idle and
+2000 rpm oil pressure.
