Oil Level Sender for After-market Oil Tank

[DonNewton]

Anyone know of such a thing? Putting my ex-racer back on the street and would really like to have an indication on the dash of tank level. All suggestions welcomed! Thanks in advance.

What type of oil tank do you have? Spun aluminum in the trunk??? Can we ee a picture? Any identifying markings as to brand/ size?

997 Carrera I know have a digital dipstick that looks adaptable, I can’t remember what GT3/Turbos of the 997 variety have but they might have something even better for adapting being dry sump. Might take some electronic circuitry in to adapt the signal outputs to a what a factory analog gauge wants.

Marc: Full Disclosure: It's a Vellios tank for a 914-6 conversion. The car is basically a 911 as all underpinnings have been changed, a carbed 2.7 added, Boxster front brakes. . . This thing that had been lightened and raced is now in the process of becoming an official outlaw. At the track, I was used to checking the oil level before each run session, but I don't think I'll be as rigorous now that it's going to be on the street. So, any steer towards a tank level indicator would be greatly appreciated! The reason this is asked here rather than the 914-6 side is obvious. We all deal with 911 engines all the time.
