Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

[gagvanman]

Has anyone fitted an oil pressure gauge in the engine compartment. If so what parts did you use??

Not sure if it’s what you’re after but I assume that you will be fitting the gauge in the cab rather than the engine bay ?

I fitted an auto meter gauge which cane with the sender and then a t-piece so that I could retain the original dummy light too

I already have an electric one in the cab, but not sure how accurate it is. I wanted to fit a mechanical one on an adaptor from the existing outlet to see what the actual pressure is.

If you want to see if the in cab gauge is accurate then why not Just stick an oil pressure tester on it?

Yep I fitted a VDO one with a t- adapter and the orig dummy switch. I'll try and take some photos tomorrow and post them up. It was a fairly easy install apart from cutting the dash holes out for the gauges

Thanks Raveboy. Do you have part numbers or where you got the items from?
