<VV> Oil pressure sender

[aeroned at aol.com]

My description of the sender mount was not very good. The sender is mounted to the bolt that holds the alt bracket to the head. Everything heavy is mounted on the engine in an attempt to had it all vibrate with the engine. The only things going to the body are wires and they haven't failed, yet...

I have an electric oil pressure gauge with the sender mounted near the
battery......

......I think the failure is from the line vibrating.

Ned, 
 
You are right, it is breaking from vibration. If the sender is mounted
rigidly to the body with a line going to the engine, the engine moves and
the body does not. Relocating the sender to the engine would solve this
problem most likely.
