Look at option one and two.

The leatherZ kit taps into the back of the oil filter housing. There are pros and cons. Pro being it reads the same place where the factory oil pressure is located. Con being that the vdo kit sender is way too big and that space is way too tight. Go for an Autometer, Defi or Greddy and you will get a 1/8 npt sender. More compact sender.

The drain plug is where I mount mine. The plug is M12x1.5 and there are adapters sold by Autometer or egauges that allow a M12 to 1/8npt.

so the sender that comes with the DEFI oil temp gauge threads directly into the drain plug hole?
