sandwich plate
I am getting ready to install some gauges ,and was thinking of trying to use a sandwich plate on the oil filter for the oil temp and oil pressure senders.
Any reason NOT to do this instead if tapping the pan and/or dealing with removing the factory oil pressure gauge and using a T-fitting.I never have liked that setup...or the CS one,for the same reason.
It just seems like a clusterfuck that way,and it seems to pout extra weight and strain on the fittings,etc..
The sandwich plate sure makes it look alot neater and easier.
I even found one that has the ports for oil cooler and the gauges on the plate already,making adding an oil cooler at a later time a bit easier,and you dont have to relocate the filter.
Any and all feedback,input,or experience with this would be great.I dont want the VE on the track without the gauges installed.We all know how good the stock ones are.LOL
Thanks in adavance
