Do you mean 'oil pressure sensor' , rather than solenoid? In which case,it would need to be connected to a T piece with the std idiot light sensor,IMHO.

mmmm one way to do this is get your self a sandwich plate so it sit between the oil filter and the bottom of the sump. and you can mount the sensor to the sandwich plate.

ok finally in and workin, had to get the sandwich plate, 45 bucks delivered from just jap, apparently couldn't get the t-piece cause the sensor unit still wouldn't fit, not much room next to the alternator or should i say no room at all but everything works well. i will post pics by the weekend.thanks matty_et
cheers steve
