hello All,

My third oil pressure sender is beginning to fail and I need to do something differently to maintain this functionality. (remember the definition of insanity?)

My current installation has the oil pressure sender on a tee with the oil pressure switch. This is on the "back" of the motor below the heat shield. Seemed like a clean installation at the time but it is definitely in what is probably the hottest area under the hood.

I have installed a MiniMania (Setrab) oil cooler, replaced the original heat exchanger with a block off plate and all the associated plumbing. I have installed an oil temperature sender on the block off plate.

I would also like to move the pressure sender up to the block off plate, but there doesn’t seem to be room enough. (??) The oil temp sender is in the “forward” of the two tap holes on the plate.

Any thoughts on my dilemma?

thanks in advance for any and all help!

John,

Found your thread on PSMini about the oil pressure sender location.  Cannot recall if I suggested a brass extension of some sort, such as a 45 or 90 degree elbow that would move the sender out of the way.
 
Good Luck,
