Unique Oil Pressure Gauge Tap Question, EVO oil cooler filter mount.

[travislaw]

Okay, so I went to an external oil cooler mount. This one http://machv.com/exoilcoolfil.html . It comes off of an EVO. Well go figure that Eclipse oil pressure sender is too small (the part that screws in.) So my Autometer mechanical oil pressure gauge part that threads in is too small as well. Anyone have any ideas on how I can reconnect my oil pressure gauge. Here is a picture of it installed. I have -8AN lines going to a big oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator. The copper line is rattling around since it isn't connected and driving me insane.

Where is the hole for the gauge/sending unit? Actually, if you look at the cast hole in the housing just to the rear of the rear oil line pointing down, you could have tapped it and drilled the connecting holes for oil and used the stock sending unit. Unfortunately, this would require removing the housing. If it does have a hole in it already(which I dont see in the pic), Im sure you can either buy or make a reducer bushing to screw in. If you need some more detail, just pm me.
