Simply do what I do in my off road racer: use an old-time temperature switch and an old-time oil pressure switch. Most cars can have this added by simply purchasing a threaded T-piece that screws into the oil pressure gauge and the oil pressure switch and the whole shebang screws into the block. (You might have to screw the T-piece in first and the other bits once it's on the block.) As for temperature, a number of motors have two ports that a temperature sender can be screwed into already, with maybe the right adaptor or you can use a thermostat housing of another model, or you can drill nd tap a hole to suit. In the buggy I have them hooked to a brake/turn light unit so they are visible in all conditions! Hope this helps, Peter
