Title: Best place to mount oilpressure/temp. sensor?...
Post by: Topolino on March 13, 2013, 08:23:38 PM: What is the best place to mount a oilpressure- and/or oiltemp. sensor? Straight on sump? And where if mounted a alloy sump?
And how do I connect it with the instrumentpanel?

In other words, where does Abarth mount her sensors?

On the shelf lays a FIAT 127/850 cockpit with km.-, rpm.-, dynometer and oiltemp./pressure indicators. I like to fix that on the 126.

The alloy sump with on right corner (out of view) the place to mount a sensor?

Post by: Topolino on March 15, 2013, 03:01:14 PM: @ Deyan: Bloody H***! These are expensive. Can't I use a sensor for like say a Cinquecento or some other modern car?

@ Ralph: Better price for this part. So here you can bold the sensor on?

Post by: thepuddlejumper on March 15, 2013, 07:05:59 PM: Hi, yes you screw the adapter into the pressure switch hole and then screw in the switch to the end of the adapter and the sender into the side hole or the other way round if it suits.
