Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge
When fitting a Gauge to the A-series, you should know that the oil pressure switch threads are 1/8 BSPT (british standard pipe tapered). It screws directly into the oil pump housing.
CAUTION: Many gauge kits use Standard threads. Use an adapter fitting for BSPT threads.
If you instead use a Tee connector, you can fit both the sensor and a separate gauage. Tees are available in the usual auto supply stores such as Repco or Oreilly's.
[Old Method, no longer recommended]
Tee fitted to oil pump | Tee and oil cooler hoses
New Method - flexible hose connnected to pump
A word of caution with Tee-d sensors: they tend to break, perhaps due the weight of the sender at the end of the tee piece and the vibration of the engine. The solution is to use a braided hose from the oil sender hole out to the bodywork, and then mounted the tee with senders in place.
