Used 3/4" thick ALU and a 3/4" wood fostner (?) bit to make the o-ring grooves. I think I used 10 mm holes. Through-hole has 1/8" NPT filltings at each end. One for oil pressure and the other feed to the PSRU. Temp sender on top directly above the oil input so the incoming oil hits the bottom of the sensor. Also 1/8" NPT.
