Oil pressure sender problem- need a 90degree adapter.

[VR6 Gar 10]

Just been out to fit my new oil pressure sender to find oil pipes running to the oil cooler in the way. The sender is too tall to fit.

 

Need some kind of 90 degree adapter so I can run it horizontally if possible.

 

Something like this, but less flimsy and more suitable like a hydraulic connector.

Searched google and ebay with no luck.

 

Anyone have any links to what I am after, or is it a case of trying places like Pirtec to see if they have what I need.

Cheers but that looks too tall, needs to be much shorter otherwise it will hit the pipes above the oil filter housing.

Is there more room around the oil temp sensor?

No, the whole area is a no go thanks to the oil pipes.

Just found this on google which would be perfect, but can't find it in any hydraulic fixtures catalogues.

Just found one of the VDO adapters from an air cooled specialist after hunting through google images.

That set up was on MK2 polos around Y reg when they changed from a single oil pressure sender to Hi / Lo pressure rev dependant set up.
