Mechanical Racetech gauge

[green]

I’ve bought a mechanical Racetech dual oil pressure and temperature gauge. It comes with capillary lines. Has anyone fitted this type of gauge? Where’s best to connect the capillaries to the F4R?
oil pressure switch or a sandwich plate?

Any help much appreciated

@dann2707 my gauge didn’t come with a probe on the end of the capillary. It did come with one capillary line connected to the gauge already but no probe on the end. I’ve been searching online for a racetech probe but can’t find any. So thought the capillaries connect straight to the engine???
Also need another probe for the temperature? I’ve got another capillary line for the pressure bought separately.
Did you already have all the probes in your kit?

Racetech oil temp is a fixed length pipe from memory you cant chop it.

If you need the oil pressure pipe, easy to knock up a pipe from 3an ptfe if you know what fitting is on the gauge.

Hi mate, I had to buy the oil pressure line separately but they are easily available online. Do you have any pictures of what you have? I take it yours are the Mechanical variant not the electrical type?
