You farked it up didn't you xD Haha it's a bit fiddly for sure.

Nah, I didn't fark it up, but didn't know the risk well enough when I deliberately saved the money on manual vs electric. Probably got it right through no fault of my own, though haha

I'm struggling to find the size of the oil pressure switch thread everywhere I read some say 1/4 and some say 1/8 just cant find a definite answer so I can get the T piece adapter. Would you guys happen to know ?

1/4 NPT. Did it a while ago and used this one:

This assumes your gauge fitting is 1/8, like the oil pressure sender for my gauge was. I agree with some of the above though - a free mechanical gauge isn't great value if something fails and leaks in the cabin.

Thanks man appreciate it, so I’m about to weld wideband sensor on the dump which I’ve made a black marking. Do you guys thinks it’s to far up the dump ? Or should be fine their..

It might be a tiny bit close, if you were to drive it hard for extended periods. Here's some instructions to help you decide for yourself.

Thanks heaps mate, I’m thinking maybe something like that? The two markings after the standard one I just thought that would be to far but if that’s what they recommend then I guess that’s right.
