Thread: Puma Gauges Installation

With all intentions to fit the Ultraguage as per above - for now its just velcro attached to the front of that location.

Works a treat.

Done.
Thanks Mitch.

Hi folks;


Another question re fitting accessory gauges to my Defender Puma.


Does anyone know what adaptor I need to fit into the oil pressure port on the engine, so I can retain factory pressure info and fit a 1/4 oil temp probe?


? M10 ?


I purchased an SAAS 1/4 (Redarc oil temp sender) 1/8 mid port (factory oil pressure sender but 1/8 is too small so I need this size please) with 1/4 end thread.


I realise I can tell what size I need by disconnecting the factory sender and seeing if the 1/4 inch SAAS unit will fit the block, but If I can find out without spilling oil all over myself first (remember, open 1/8 mid port) I’d prefer to ask, and use what others recommend.


Thanks in advance and best wishes all.

Not just aviation, lots of old trucks also had this trick done
