As John Slade mentioned, brass adapter  with the sender hanging on the end of it is likely to crack. Also my oil press. sender installed on the engine failed in 10 hrs. There are very tiney moving parts and wires inside that do not like being shaken for hours. The firewall is a better place for them.
