Oil pressure and temperature senders for Fireblade
gingerprince - 10/4/07 at 02:20 PM

Okay since I hosed my Digidash speedo pickup I've ordered another from ETB, and ordered oil temp sender and pressure senders at the same time. So 2 questions: -

1)
I know I need to remote mount the pressure sender. What's the current locost way of doing this, i.e. 1/8 bsp to 1/8 npt braided hose (no t-piece required, the sender has its own low pressure switch). I've read of the LMA095 however this appears to be 1/8 npt so presumably I'd need a separate thread adaptor, and also a blanking plug since the actual t-piece isn't required...A cheap supplier of the correct item would be appreciated

2)
I have a spare sump pan which I intend to get tapped for the temperature sender. Does anyone have any pictures of modded 893 blade sumps? Presumably it'll need some extra ally welding in to take a decent tap? (Oh I intend to have the sump plug relocated to rear/side too for a little extra clearance so any pics of this would be nice)

Cheers


Sy

if you know the thread size in the block just get a braided hose made up and bolt straight into the block then use rubber insert hose clip to mount to chassis .this is all i did on my megablade and megabusa

Here's a couple of my fully chopped blade sump with oil temp boss and side drain plug. Sorry for the poor quality, taken a few years ago on a crap digi camera.
