Put the extra sensors in the oil filter housing, or oil cooler housing.
I don't like to hang more than one thing out of that little 10mm hole, if you crack it....you will be sad.

Yeah, I try to mount all the extra senders in the filter housing. If you strip it, toss it and get another, no big deal. I try to just fit the stock sender to it's port. But, when the threads are loose (like when someone's gronked a 1/8npt fitting in) then I loctite a street elbow or street tee in, and fit the sender to that. The nice thing about using a street tee is that you can fit the sender and a small oil filled mechanical gauge.
