These *are* electrical senders and gauges, but the sender for an electric
oil pressure gauge is quite large and doesn't fit in the same location as
the stock sender on wasserboxers and aircooled engines.

An idiot light sender isn't much larger than a large nut.  The gauge
sender for my SunPro oil pressure gauge is a bell-shaped device a couple
inches in diameter and around three inches long.
