So I have been meaning to check my oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. This is the tool I have to do so.

So as some of you know I always come up with these dumb ideas.
This involves putting in a "T" fitting to make is so I can put the mechanical gauge on the Jeep anytime I want without having to remove the sending unit. I figure I have to pull the sending unit to check the pressure so why not set this up when I do so.
I believe everything to be 1/8" pipe thread. I believe the gauge itself to also be 1/8" pipe thread.
So I am thinking using something like this:

Something like this to plug the opening in the "T" where the mechanical gauge would go when not in use.

Been poking around and have seen where guys have done similar stuff to run both the gauge in the cluster and a mechanical one at the same time.
I don't see a problem with this.
Am I missing something?
