On my TR7 I used a 1/8" pipe tee and used the oil pressure switch with a
gauge. Other than being somewhat close quarters to get to I've had no
problems. On the matter of electric versus mechanical, I guess that would be
a personal preference. I used a mechanical gauge, you don't have to worry
about the wires shorting out or falling off. I believe that the electrical
senders are quite large and there's not a lot of room to spare around the
oil pressure tap.
