Part 2 Oil Pressure Sender Install

This was a two step process.
The spare oil port is at the back, behind the OE oil pressure switch.




Since the space at the back is limited & the OE pressure switch is smaller than the new pressure sender,
I relocated the OE switch to the back port & installed the new pressure sender in the front port.

The threads for these ports are M12 1.5 straight (not tapered)

The biggest challenge I had was installing the sender adapter.
The adapter is a 90° port adapter so that there is more room for the sender.
The challenge was to get the port oriented in the right direction with the fitting tightened.

In the manufacturing process, it's completely random how the threads are cut & the direction of the port will be different for every block.

I was fortunate that I had a selection of machined sealing washers of varying thickness (luck.. not good planning)

This is the result....
(wire connector plugged in temporarily)
