Technical oil pressure gauge

[AIJ29]

Hi
Has anyone fitted an oil pressure gauge to a cinque,i can get all the stuff from work,they do a little t-piece for about a fiver which fits in where the oil pressure sensor fits then the oil pressure sensor screws into that then you run a pipe from the t-piece to the guage,is there enough room for the t-piece?
Cheers

When i fit my 1242 am i right in saying i need a t-piece and a 90 degree sensor from a cinquecento?(is there a problem with space?)
Also i like your centre console conversion how did you make that?

If you use the Cinqy switch and right angle adaptor on a 1242, there's no problems.

Console is perspex, covered in vinyl. Heated up the perspex over a gas stove to get the bend right, then dremelled the holes for the gauges after. Don't cut the gauge holes first if you're doing it this way, it'll be a bugger to bend without snapping.

How do you attach it to the console?

3 tiny L brackets, two at the top and one at the bottom. Glued 3 small self tappers into the perspex before covering, and there's just enough spring in the thing to keep it located. Comes out nice n'easy like that, too
