Ej to Ea Oil pressure gauge

My EJ runs quite a bit more oil pressure than the old EA81 it seems. I adapted the EA81 oil pressure sender to the EJ22 no problem. Thing is after a few days it blows the seal on the EA81 oil sending unit and it leaks oil everywhere. After buying 3 of them I gave up. Let me know how you make out.

It is better to do an aftermarket electric gauge?

For myself in 87 GL wagon, planned to use OEM switch with mechanical OP gauge. Switch port in case is 1/8 BSP, right?

1/8 NPT female tee: https://www.mcmaster.com/50785K75, with this adapter:  https://www.mcmaster.com/4860K611.

Or, a branch tee https://www.mcmaster.com/50785K219

with this adapter: https://www.mcmaster.com/4860K141

Copper tubing from engine to inside OP gauge with 3-4 coils of tubing between engine & firewall to prevent fracture.
