Oil temp/pressure gauge?

[makeitfit]

I've got an oil pressure and an oil temp gauge to fit:augie
Can I connect to these points on the oil filter ?

Both fittings I've got screw into the engine/oil filter.
Is this spade terminal meant to be connected to something by the way?

Remove the 1 with the spade on

In the gauge box,you should have replacement fixings & a flexy copper tube.
Put the new fixing in where the old 1 was,connect the copper pipe,job done :thumbs


Yes there should be a wire coming off it to give you temperature reading.?

 

[makeitfit]

So do you reckon I could use that then for the oil temp gauge?

 

[tezzer]

you can buy a fitting to fit in sump drain hole for oil temp gauge, as far as i know oil temp is taken from sump. :thumb2

So do you reckon I could use that then for the oil temp gauge?

Would need to see the backs of the gauges & the fittings youve got
I havent seen what tezzers said before
When ever ive fitted or seen temp gauges fitted,its always off the block...
But
I could be wrong...

Havent seen that before

Words of caution.!

If the pipe gets pulled out ? oil will find its way out.!
Ya go off road & something will snag & pull the pipe out.!

Go out the block,its safer & proven/tested :thumbs

Seems like an iffy idea for off road:augie
The gauge is electronic so needs the cable to run under the engine:augie
Probably try and make that fit on the block though:thumbs

Both temp and pressure gauges are electronic
There's an alen key blank screwed in to the left of that spade terminal. So I was hoping to find the right fitting to go in there.:augie

AH ha ha
Well I found that to be a little teadious and time consuming:augie
So I er found in another Pajero an inclinometer and pitch gauge thingy
This is being modified to fit the mav too, so I'll know before I fall over now:lol
Just need to find the critical angle though:doh

 

[tezzer]

lol, im sure you will work it out pete, if not perhaps colin could help out and come up with some idea to find the point of no return, :lol :thumbs

 

[makeitfit]

I think I've just found the point of no return!:augie
Just opened a bottle of 1983 Cockburns vintage port:naughty
Gorden bennet it's smooooth
