VR6 Gar 10 Posted August 20, 2013 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. http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/90_DEGREE_Swivel_Male_Concave_Seat_M10_x_1_PSBF07 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 Gar 10 Posted August 20, 2013 Cheers but that looks too tall, needs to be much shorter otherwise it will hit the pipes above the oil filter housing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted August 20, 2013 Is there more room around the oil temp sensor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Gar 10 Posted August 21, 2013 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. [ATTACH=CONFIG]75392[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 Gar 10 Posted August 21, 2013 Just found one of the VDO adapters from an air cooled specialist after hunting through google images. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
