Oil pressure gauge

anyone using an electric oil pressure gauge on an XE,just wondering where you put the oil pressure sensor,also is there an alternative to the large baked bean can size sensor I have.

I know I'm a BEC, but I originally fitted my "baked bean can sender" hard mounted to the block via a brass adaptor. That lasted about 30 miles!

This time the can is mounted to the chassis, using a P clip, and a 300mm stainless braided hose runs down to the engine. This has lasted nearly 1,000 miles!

1-0 for remote mounting the sender!

Cheers Mike,I have thought about the remote mounting,but dont now where to take the remote oil feed from?The old CVH block I had before had a 1/8bsp hole tapped into the block,cant find anything on the XE.
