Where is a good place to connect my mechanical oil pressure gauge on my cross flow? I have an electronic sender in the side of the block which gives me the low pressure light. I have an oil cooler rad and inline filter. Could I connect it here?
you can buy an adaptor with 2 take offs and use 1 for a gauge and one for the sender

Will that one fit my crossflow?
would think so I think its a common thread size I had a mini one which I loaned to a guy who fitted it to his zx12 engine same thread
Thanks. Much appreciated.
I think you need one for a crossflow, about 8 quid on ebay
Is the scope not a 1/8 npt?

How - I don't know on that engine, but I thought it normally considered most important to get your pressure gauge reading from the head galleries if possible, furthest place from the pump, most likely to give initial warning of oil issues?
ok, os have taken out the oil pressure sensor that i have fitted, i assume this is in the gallery. it has stamped on it part number 11320. its diameter is approx 1/2 inch so am guessing its 1/4 npt adaptor i need?
