Have a look on Burton's Site under gauge accessories and see what they have. You don't say what oil gauge you are using so it's impossible to know what thread it is. If your clocks are RS type you'll need a T piece if you want to have an oil light switch.

This is a std oilpressure-gauge-pipe.
The plastic pipe is crimped on the pipe-ends (heated then crimped I guess)
On the engine side there is a adaptor that goes into the block, in the photo is a XFlow/BDA adaptor (1/8 NPT) for a Pinto you need a 1/4 NPT adaptor.

Awesome thank you for that guys, so does the 1/4npt restrict the flow to the gauge so it is accurate?
I f I was to buy from Burton’s the LMA007 and a LMA 003 would that be all I need to make the RS oil pressure gauge work correctly? Cheers Jonny

Re: RS2000 original oil sender connection
the small bore is probably better for a gauge! as the gauge is a dead end and therefore the pipe will have air trapped in it as smaller pipe means less air which unlike oil is compressible

If it's for a Pinto engine you would need a LMA006 also.
