I think I have seen a T into the oil pressure sender, the T giving an outlet for the pressure and temp.

That looks the job, that wasn’t what I was on about but does the same, it looks like the hole in the side is for the Temp sender. The T piece I was on about was a brass T with a hole and threaded, I think you can get them from a motorist shop and would be £££ cheaper.
Saying that the unit you have found would be more substantial.

Ask the guys at the your motorist shop, the books they use give filter info size, thread etc.
