I agree with your approach

My 69 had the same issue so I added a cheapo $20 mechanical gauge and mounted it to the unused washer bottle bracket on the bulkhead. There is an old thread on here somewhere that discusses adding one in parallel. I did find a print out of the picture including the parts required and numbers. I purchased the all from McMaster-Carr.

Edit - found the thread

[E-Type] Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge Installation E-Type

Next oil change looking to install a Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge as highly recommended by listers. Saw the archives and ordered the pluming parts (thanks Chuck).I will order a Smith gauge and I want to mount it by my ignition switch. Does anyone know the length of tube I need and where to get it? I don’t think 49 inched would do it. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.– Benny 1968 4.2 S11/2 OTS Old Bridge NJ, United States –Posted using Jag-lovers JagFORUM [forums.jag-lover…
