oil sandwich plate

[pegliobaglio]

Anyone know where I can get a decent sandwich plate from?
Have just fitted a defi oil temp gauge and need a plate for the sensor,any ideas?

I've got a Greddy one in the shed you can have for £20 posted

Nice one mate, what sort of condition is it in?

 

[drifter]

Should be fine, i removed it when I fitted my oil cooler kit

 

[pegliobaglio]

Why have you removed it when fitting the oil cooler,just out of interest as I have an oil cooler on mine already,can you not use them together ?

 

[drifter]

You can stack them up, I removed the standard oil pressure sensor and put the oil temp in the sump

 

[pegliobaglio]

Ah ok,I will drop you a pm tomorrow dude,as am at work atm thanks for the offer and the info

 

[drifter]

For info APEX do sandwich plates, if you need a new one.

Cool cheers buddy,not sure what I am going to do now
I found a greddy temp sender box mixed in with all the wiring behind my dash,I followed the cable and it seems to be going to the sump,so I might just swap that sensor for the defi one and run it from the sump,is the oil temp as accurate from there?

Not really tbh, I'm trying to get mine in another location if I can. It does work but shows the oil at a lower temp so it might look okay on the guage, but at the filter it could be a lot hotter I've learnt to allow for it, my oil is okay upto 150degC so the gauge alarms at 120degC

Ok cool,so are sandwich plate ok when they are stacked then,they don't leak or anything as I might still go with the plate in that case.

Seems there is plenty of people on the SXOC who have them stacked up with no issues
