if an early blade there is a big bung that the oil pressure switch sits in, unbolt this tap the sensor hole to a sensible size insert a tee here.

Ok. Thanks for your reply. Any chance you could upload a pic of yours please.
Failing that. Did you custom make a t piece or buy something off the shelf ??

Mine runs an oil less turbo so not required
However I do run my accusump via a 1/2" fitting into the bung and with a Tee for the oil pressure gauge let into the hose, the bung is
~3/4" thread and is directly into the main oil gantry, it just winds out on a metric fine thread.
If I remember I will take a picture tomorrow.
Also if fitting a turbo I recommend you add an oil cooler, my oil turned black after every track day so it was getting really hot. I used a kit for a
crossflow engine, you just need to cut the blade engines cooler bolt in half and weld to the crossflow item to make a suitable adaptor.
You can always tap into the take off plate or buy one off ebay with extra 1/8" NTP threads pre drilled, something like OIL
COOLER ADAPTER SANDWICH PLATE 3/4unf | eBay

How big an oil cooler you guys using. I'm thinking af a small ten row but don't want the oil to get too cold. This engine ran fine on the
road but since then it's going to be more track orientated
