    There are 'Mishimoto' ones on ebay that have everything I want, but they aint cheap, and dont come with fittings for the cooler piping, just threaded holes, so something else to buy.
    With regards to bolting up the assembly, if stacking them, due to the male/female design of the bolts for the sandwich plates, I could just 'stack' those too.
    It seems I could do it another way, but nobody has given any real reason not to, so I may just go for the stacking option.
    Thanks for the input.

    I guess if you stack them up then the oil filter will be further out and more at risk of being hit by something etc, also more joints = more chanc6e of a leak

    What about taking your current plate down to a machine shop and get them to drill and tap some larger holes on the other side to the sensors?

    Female onto the engine, male to accept the filter.
    Machining would still mean no thermostat.
    I think whichever way I do it there's going to be more joins, if anything I would say this way would make the least amount of joins. Compared to running an inline thermostat, or sensor blocks in the lines.
    I've managed to find a couple of threads on other forums saying people have done it with no ill affects so I might give it a go.

    iain's idea of using the galley blanks sounds like the ideal option to me.
    can you not do that on the 16xe ?

    otherwise your gonna end up with a sandwich plate sandwich for lunch !

    are you running one of these for oil pressure ?

    I'm not aware of any blanks that I could use. Had a look on the pump and couldn't see any.
    My pressure sensor is something along those lines, think it's a swoosh one or something?
