I put a Stewart Warner oil pressure guage on my Eldo. Had a sending unit
fail, so I bashed its guts out and welded on a short metal fitting. Attached
the SW kit which included thin, white Tigon tubing up to the dashboard. The
guage worked perfectly for 100K miles and assumedly is still on that bike.
Now sold away and lost track. The Guzzi oil pumping system is standard
technology and there is no reason why a standard, mechanical oil guage should
not work.
