Oil cooler & temp. sender?
Got my new digidash from ETB Instruments the other day, and starting to plumb it all in. I've got all the engine sensors on my Zetec bar one;
the oil temperature.
I've got a thread adaptor and was just wondering, as per the recomendations from the instruction wiring diagram, would it work effectively in
place of the sump plug?
I've got 2 UJ's in my steering column, and as such have a small oil filter as it's a touch tight on room, so I think a sandwich
plate is too big. But I was also thinking, do I need an oil cooler due to the shortened sump?
I'm sure I can combine the two somehow - was thinking along the lines of an oil filter relocation kit plumbed into the block, with the oil
cooler on one of the take-offs, and the temp sender screwed into it somewhere?
Thoughts, all? Any pictures of installs comprising of any of the above suggestions would be interesting to see...
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!

pretty much what I have done
remote filter take off on block
plumbed to remote head with a sandwich plate take off for oil temp and pressure then to filter and then back to block via cooler (better to filter hot
oil from what I gather?)
I'm sure I have some pics somewhere??
Will post when I find them
Regards

Remote filter and take off and sandwich plate not visible in this shot though..
sure I have some closeups showing it
Will keep on looking
Unfortunately the car is engineless and pretty much stripped for a pre winter re-build ...no garage so making hay whilst sun shines :-)
