Where to source an oil pressure gauge

[Marv17]

Hey, does anyone know a good source to buy a oil pressure gauge, sender, and accessories needed to install? I have a oil cap on order where i can install an oil pressure line but don't know where to source the needed parts.
Thanks for the help.

Marv, if you have figured out where you're going to tap in the engine for the oil pressure, then I believe most all aftermarket gauges include the sender and necessary hose/wire to install them. I've never heard of anyone using an oil cap for oil pressure, not quite sure how that'd work.

that being said, I haven't put a oil pressure in my car yet because I refuse to pay $50+ for a dist. block to create a pickup point.

could try bavauto.com, they sell VDO gauges

The factory M44 oil filter wrench comes with the (metal) cover which has the pressure tap on top to do in-shop diagnostics- this is probably what he has (correct me if wrong). I have this arrangement from my old engine.

However, be sure your hose connection will clear the hood when attached if this is in fact what your plan is!

Otherwise, use the tap adapters as the others have noted above. VDO is a good choice and good match (since they make most of the gages for BMW)
