SA 12A oil pressure tap
My 12A from my SA does not have an oil pressure tap. Looking at my FB 12a the oil pressure tap is just below the oil filter housing on the rear housing. I am thinking I should be able to drill and tap a port at the same location on my SA 12a. Has anyone tapped an oil pressure port on a SA housing? Or is there an existing port I can tap into which I am not seeing?

^i agree. it can be removed from the engine, drilled and taped, and all the metal shavings can be cleaned out before putting it back on the engine. doing the rear housing will cause these metal shavings to get down into the oil passage which isn't a good thing. now if u were building the engine and it was done to the rear housing before it was put back together, then i'd say yes. if the sa engines didn't have a sensor how did the gauge/light work?
