I think it's in the oil filter housing, near the pressure switch. Single terminal with a "nail" type head, white -green wire I think.

On the top of the oil filter housing, small slide on female spade connector on the top. It slides on from the side as I found out the other week  ::)

or can i put the twin post sender in the side of the block and have oem oil pressure and the gauge running off that?

i could then attach the oil pressure gauge to the stock one on top of the oil filter mount?

would this mean i wouldnt have a temp reading on the mfa?

i have heard you can get t pieces to resolve this but where from??

 ???

I think I know what your trying to do, remove the oil press sensor from the filter housing, fit the "twin post" sender in its place. Wire the oil pressure guage to the correct terminal and the oil light to the other. Oil temp wire, just link into the wire that "talks" to the MFA and both should work  ;).

the one on the side of the block is the 0.3 bar oil pressure point. the one on the back of the oil cooler is the 1.8 bar point. you only need it on the 1.8 bar point. the temp goes infront of it, but it's very close to the dizzy.

ok i will leave the thing on the side of the block alone!

i wil put a twin pole sender onto the 1.8bar location on the filter housing and wire it for a)the original sender and b)for the new gauge

The temp one is there something there that i just connect to or do i need a whole new sender?

cheers for your help guys much appreciated!!  :-*
