1200 Sports 2V oil pressure gauge

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.

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?
