Bossco Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 You need your gauges and sensors first mate, then you know what size holes you need in your sanwhich plate and in your peicew in the radiator pipe. Do you know what gauges your getting and what size sensors they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossco Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) The bit that your interested in is 1\8 npt. That's the hole size for your sensor fitting. Buy these http://www.tein.co.uk/product/alfit.html Just drop them a line, say it's for a Supra and you want a plate with 2 sensor fittings at 1/8npt. They will sort you out. Might as well get 2 fittings now, then you can add oil pressure when ever your ready and won't need a new plate.
