Hey Oddball, I was searching for other people's setups for their oil pressure gauges, and came across an old thread of yours: http://www.mx6.com/forums/uk-lounge/...y-chappie.html (Not a happy chappie.) .

So did you use the sandwich adapter, or the method you mentioned in that thread there? Also, were you able to get the allen head bolt out of the block for your oil temp?

Thats what i used the sandwich plate for buddy, the oil temp and pressure sender units.

I took one look at my allen bolt in the block, decided i would have one go at it, it pretty much put 2 fingers up at me and said, you aint got a chance

.

I'm sure if the block was out of the car and i could work on it and repair if nessesary, would have done so, but as it was'nt, i was not prepared to take the chance.
