Additional coolant temp and oil pressure gauges

Sensor installations?

1984 VW Mk1 Cabriolet (UK based)

Given the age of the original Oil Pressure and Coolant temp gauges I would like to install an additional set to monitor the engine condition.

My problem being where and how to install the sensors.

I understand both the existing sensors have a 10mm thread.

All the Oil and Coolant sensors I see advertised have a 1/8bsp thread.

Are there any other ports I can use?

Does anybody have any idea where I can get or how to fit?  10mm/10mm/1/8bsp tee or adaptors

Thank you

Angus

I fitted a mechanical oil pressure guage and used one of these

In the side of the head to allow me to use the guage and keep the original sensor.
Could probably use the same thing for the coolant (although I didn't think the coolant sender was m10)

My rebuild thread I will try and keep up to date: here
