Oil pressure sender

Im sorting out the dash using dolomite clocks. I got a two way splitter and capillary pipe from Vechile wiring products. However I the splitter fits in the Xflow block with one of the adaptors and the capillary pipe fits onto that but the original oil pressure light switch is far to big for the splitter. I cant see any adaptors in any of the catalouges that would be big enough for the original ford switch.

So can you get smaller pressure switches if so from where.

I also noticed that there is a bolt in the block a few inches under spark plug no. 4. Whats this for - on the hope I can put the oil pressure pipe in this

Cheers Chris

I sorted this problem using components sourced from Think Auto/Mocal. They sell the T-Piece your after as well as a suitable 5 foot gauge line. Plumbed ours in no probs

I think off the top of my head that the T-Piece is 1/4" NPTF although don't rely on that. Think Auto were really helpful would recommend...
