Brief Description:  Oil fittings

Removed the oil pressure sender from the engine gear case and added a Tee so I can add a pressure switch which will trigger a low oil pressure light and also activate the hour meter when the engine is running.

An addition advantage of adding this Tee is it places the sender in a vertical position vs horizontal which has been reported to eliminate a vibration induced fluctuation in the pressure reading that some pilots have reported with the sender in the original orientation.

The pressure sender had been installed by the factory with teflon tape so after removing it I spent some time cleaning the teflon strings out of the threads.

Also installed the AN elbow fitting (in the gear case below the filter) which is the pump inlet and will get connected to the bottom of the oil tank on the other side of the engine.
