I wanted to install new Autometer gauges instead of the crappy stock gauges, but the stock senders are 10mm thread while Autometer use 1/8-NPT. So I blanked off two of the ports on the oil filter housing with M10x1mm bolts and copper crush washers. I redrilled and tapped the third port to accept a 1/4-NPT to 1/8-NPT bushing, which I installed with a little JB weld to make sure it never comes out of the soft aluminum housing. The autometer sensor screws right into the bushing. I've heard the stock sensors (low & high pressure switches and oil temp sender) are capable of blowing out and causing a mini oil geyser, so I'm happy to have got rid of them.

You should replace that coolant crack pipe with a metal one from Gruvenparts.com or Mason Tech. Trust me it will fail on you at the worst possible time, like mid corner.
