Default oil temp/oil pressure sensor

I am looking to buy a gauge that has both oil pressure and oil temperature. Anyone had a recommendation?

Great question, never seen one. In my failed track car build I have a boost gauge and an oil temperature gauage along the pillar on the left side by the window.

SPA stuff is good - if you can get it. I've been after one for a couple of months - still no ETA of delivery. Shop around for price. These use high quality senders as well.

Thanks! That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I knew I had found one of these while surfing the internet but I could not find it again.

It looks like some of the SPA gauges are out of stock in both the UK and USA. However they show April for them to return to stock so hopefully any day now.

Something to note if you look at the UK site - the temperature sensors are 1/8 NPT but the pressure sensor threads are 1/8 BSP. Pressure sensors for gauges sold in the USA are NPT. Since I bought the oil pressure sensor adapter from Lindsey Racing to add this gauge, which is 1/8 NPT, I thought there was a problem. If you dig a little further SPA shows that they use NPT for both pressure and temperature sensors in the USA.
