Has anybody fitted an oil pressure gauge to a 2V 1200 Sport engine?
There is no room to piggy back onto the sensor because of the alternator.
Is there another suitable port for connection in the block.
Thanks.

Re: 1200 Sports 2V oil pressure gauge
I’ve been looking at this for the 8v, as there’s not a lot of room! I’m not sure where the 2v version is, but Alan suggested a T-piece and an extension kit (short bit of pipe) to mount it remotely. I’ve ended up going for a mechanical gauge though, running the pipe out of a slim t-piece where the oil pressure switch lives.
Might be completely irrelevant for a 2v, but you might find a mechanical / capillary pipe gauge gives you more options?

The solution I eventually went for was very simple.
The oil pressure sensor supplied with the oil pressure gauge has 2 electrical outputs - 1 for the gauge and 1 for the oil warning light.
An M12x1.5 x 1/4” BSPP conical adapter goes in place of the oil pressure switch and the hose connected to the adapter and run to the oil pressure sensor. A hose is supplied with the gauge. I got the adapter from Hosemaster (they are online)
On the Triking oil gauge supplied by ETB. There is a G connector for the gauge and WK connector for the warning light which triggers at 7psi.
