I just did this last weekend on my 90 Westy.  I have a dual VDO oil
pressure gauge so I knew the buzzing over 2000 rpm was a bad sender.
The pressure was fine.  I simply took the brown wire sender (harness
side obviously) and grounded it on a tranny bolt.  The annoying
buzzing stopped.  The high oil pressure sender is always grounded and
it buzzes (and oil light flashes) when there is a problem.  The low
pressure sender is the opposite.
