Nice ill be buying that t piece! Is it definitely model 036?

Does your double gauge pod have the clips like the clock pod does?

Guys, just picked up my oil filter sandwich plate today from Bursons.... Stupid idiots ordered the wrong thing (ordered speco 547-57) and here's what they gave me - http://derale.com/products/filtration/engine2013-10-28-09-53-27459934969/sandwich-adapters/engine-oil-filter-relocation-kit-1-2-npt-ports-with-13-16--16-engine-thread-size-detail :uhuhuh:

Looks like I'll be taking it back unless I could just use it? Problem will be that this directs flow, not just allowing something to "tap" into the existing gallery. All the other sandwich plates I've seen for gauges are almost all hollow. Thinking I'll just get my money back and order one of these (unles you recommend to go with the speco?) - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Oil-filter-sandwich-plate-adaptor-universal-M18-M20-M22-3-4-turbo-feed-pressure-/171220173038?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27dd8480ee&_uhb=1

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Rob

Are you planning on running an oil cooler? If so, then it's perfect

If not, take it back and get a t piece that taps into your existing oil pressure sender

I did the same thing when I got my gauges. Grabbed a sandwich plate designed for external oil cooler, had to buy the correct one with standard oil flow direction and just side holes for the sensors.

They ended up changing it for the speco and it only cost me $66 bux. Happy days. Didn't even realise but the oil cooler adapter was thermostatic, so would only open at a certain temp. No good for gauges. On another note, my gauges from the US (Cobalt boost and oil pressure) arrived today as well as my tripple gauge holder from SS inductions. Got the oil pressure sender out and tried it in the sandwich plate, I reckon I only get around 3 threads in! Seems to either be diff pitch, or tapered.... How far are your oil pressure senders going into the plates? They're both spec'd at being 1/8" NPT, so should be a direct fitment.

Mine don't screw all the way in either. Might be the design, tapered or whatever.
