Guys,
I’ve installed an electric VDO oil pressure gauge, but the sensor install is giving me a bit of a problem. I bought the tee fitting from eBay, like Josh and several others. It is listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-8-BSPT-Oil-Pressure-Sensor-Tee-to-NPT-Adapter-Turbo-Lexus-Toyota-Subaru-Mazda-/351867602261 The only issue I have is that the Yanmar sensor sticks out from the block too far and actually touches the alternator belt. I would like to install a 90 degree elbow and point the sensor down, which I think would solve my problem. The problem is finding a compatible product. It would have to be a male-to-female 90 degree (or 45 degree) elbow with 1/8” BSPT threads on both ends. I’ve found a number of male-to-male fittings, but that won’t quite work. I’ve searched a lot and haven’t found anything that would work. Has anyone else run into this problem? I don’t have room to relocated the alternator enough to provide clearance. Any ideas?
