[DeTomaso] 2nd oil pressure gauge

[RKMosier at aol.com]

Michael,
 
I did this same thing on my car.  Water temp, oil temp, and oil  pressure.  
This was when I put the new engine in and had no idea what the  stock gauges 
were doing.  I mounted all three tight up next to the right  side window.  I 
used magnet disks to hold the gauges there as I did not  want to do something 
that was going to leave holes in case in the future I  wanted to remove them.  I 
just "teed" off of the same place the stock  pressure gauge was.  Worked 
great.  I had the gauges  positioned so I could see them in the mirror.  I also 
have a piece of  thin aluminum that blocks seeing the gauges from the back of the 
car.  
 
I have since replaced the gauges on the dash and have removed the extra oil  
pressure gauge but kept the water and oil temp gauges.

I  ordered an weather proof autometer mechanical oil pressure gauge yesterday 
 with a rubber mounting cup.  My plan is to mount it in the engine bay so  
that I can see it though the rear glass or maybe even the mirror.   Anybody else 
done this?  2nd question.  Is a t fitting the best way  to go or should I 
find a secondary source and if so, where?     Michael in Savannah
