The easiest way for the oil temp would be to by a sandwich plate which sits in-between the oil filter and block. However as much as i rate this way, it depends on where your oil filter is.

On My old Rev1 it was located under the manifold, despite me wiring it up carefully and wrapping it in protective tape it eventually melted due to the amount of heat. Which also lead to the question of the accuracy it would have been reading before hand anyway.

The second way is to 'plug' it into the sump.
