does anyone know where i can buy this, maybe at a shop, or an online store...?
whats the proper name for this item?

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!

 

Yea, you can buy this part off of ebay, there is a bunch of them on there. just type in scion tc, and on the left of the parts and accessories, just go to guages.

 

cool, anyone else got any ideas, i want the cheapest price posible,

 

Are you looking for the sandwich adaptor or the oil pressure sender?

You can get the sandwich adaptors cheap on ebay but most oil PSI gauges come with senders.

 

no no i need the sandwitch adapter, notice in my original post i said ITEM, not items, so yes i already have the sender and the temp sensor, i just need the plate

is the plate suppose to be 18mm-1.5
im gonna order it dirrectly from glowshift

 

bump'd

is it 18mm??

and what size oil filter fits onto the adapter?

glowshift does not elaborate on its items...

 

3/4-16 is the one our car needs
GloShift has that size, mine just arrived

 

just so everyone knows, the bolt that comes from glowshift is too short, i ordered that plate and after a month it shot out while i was driving and spilled my oil all over the road, lucky for me i was only 2 miles from home and had it towed ASAP so i can fix it

 

Which part detached?

The sender from the oil reserve?
or
The oil filter from the sender?

Fix it? or Remove it?

 

the plate itself shot out w/ the oil filter w/ the sender and w/ the temperature sensor, along w/ all my synthetic oil all over the road, i fixed it by eliminating the plate and all the accessories until im able to get a new sandwitch plate to make my gauges work once again, also another note

...put a bigger filter on because the stock size doesnt fit quite right, i put a bigger one designed for the tundra i think, if u look at mobil filters, ours is the m1-101 from mobile, so i put one thats a step up (BIGGER)

 

I just got the gloshift oil sandwich plate =( before finding this thread. Is there anyway to fix the problem with the sandwich plate falling off?

 

I had a glowshift with the same problem but couldn't find a reason (happen twice). ended up getting the Allfit adaptor and had no problem since.
