I have the two seperate senders on a T-piece, don't think they do a sender that accomodates both. ;D

Drill and tap the sump for the temp sender and take a T-piece from the stock pressure switch for the pressure sender.
I have a cheap "biltema" T-piece, but you should be able to get it from ang hi perf store.

I've got pretty much the same setup including the "bilhelvete" ;D t-piece but I am not sure how accurate the temp gauge readings are as the wind beneath the car must cool the sump and the sender ??? (even that the sender is facing to rear of the car)

I've got an Autometer temp and pressure gauge, If you've got a deep sump you could probably drill and tap it to fit the temp sender ;D

you could use this http://www.jegs.com/p/Moroso/746564/10002/-1 (http://www.jegs.com/p/Moroso/746564/10002/-1) the black one. you could fit this where your full flow comes out of the case and fit the temp sender ;D

this is what I used with my autometer senders, worked perfect, I still use it today with my vdo senders, same way, simple and effective...

Thats what i'm using for the pressure sender

Then for the temp, just drill and tap the fillter mount, making sure the tip of the sender is in the oil.
