Hey Guys,

I need to get an oil distribution block for my oil pressure gauge. Does anyone know what company makes a good one. I saw that JT design makes one for about $99. I also saw that LeatherZ makes one for about $60. Does anyone know if one is better than the other.

TIA

The UUC one looks nice but it only fits the e36 or any engine that has the metal oil cover. It would be be nice though. Maybe i will just get the leather Z one. $40 cheaper.

e popa, what kind of gauges do you have. Does the sender fit well with the leatherZ one?

Not sure if this will help...but do you havean access to a floor drill, some drill bits and tapping bits? The block is literally a 15min job.

I have the leatherZ kit, works well, no fitment issues. The UUC one, if its for E36 M3, will not work most likely, there are some protrusions on the back of the oil filter housing that differ between the cars (unles of course you retrofit the E36 housing; the euro one allows an oil cooler!)

A floor drill? what's the difference between a floor drill and a regular handheld drill?
