Most builders are using an Adell clamp to secure those transducers. An improvement is to use a slightly larger Adell clamp to secure a short length of 1-1/2" PVC, then slipping the entire transducer into the PVC. There is a few thousandths clearance between the PVC and the transducer, which will "collar" and electrically insulate it. This mounting will allow the transducer a freedom of linear movement. This is especially important for the oil pressure transducer, because of the relative movement between the engine and the fixed transducer mounting point. The oil pressure PVC collar can then be clamped or tywraped to the engine mount.
