what is a sandwich plate?
 
Its a gadget that goes between your oil filter and the block,you can then fit your sensors into the holes it has to get the oil temp,pressure.. :thumbsup:

do you have to fit this plate, cos i just bought oil pressure and oil temp and boost, was hoping to get them fitted on fri, how much would someone charge if i took them to get them fitted?
 
Normal method for fitting oil pressure gauges to scoobys it to buy a tee piece , fit it in where the std oil pressure switch goes ( behind the alternator ) , screw the std oil pressure switch into 1 side of the tee & the sender for the oil pressure gauge goes into the other site .

There's not a lot of room in there & if the sender is too big you can buy extension hoses to relocate it . A sandwich plate is an alternative but more costly solution . You could try this guy for sandwich plates - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Matt-Lewis-Racing_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZQ2d33QQftidZ2QQtZkm

He doesn't list the right type in his ebay shop but that's only a fraction of what he supplies . I've bought a few bits off him for the rally car that weren't listed but he supplied them no problem . Try e-mailing him to ask .
 
Fitting the plate will give you less accurate gauge readings.....
why??????????i have the exact readings as specified by subaru for oil temp,oil pressure...so have to disagree...personel opion :ponder:

Seen a scooby one time in an old redline mag that was class, some lad called arnout from france. he had a purple one with a cream interior and huge wide arch kit. but what he did was as iff the pocket was open, put a screen there and mould it into the dash, it looked absolutely mint, might be a bit pricey but was the bogs dollox!
