Default Oil sender unit.

With the new Simonz manifold fitted I find that the sender is very close and suspect that the cable will fry very quickly. I would like to fit an elbow adapter but don't know what the threading is. Any body know and where to find adapter?
Also, i am looking for an elbow/right angle adapter for the servo connection to the manifold. Can anybody help?

Firstly; that doesn't look too close to me, I'd leave it as it is. Perhaps wrap some sort or insulating cover over the wire?

The thread on the B230 engine in the 240 is 1/8 NPT. Chances are it's the same. But be aware that the common brass elbows you get for this use have a tendency to crack and leak.

Easiest thing to do is put some exhaust wrap around the exhaust next to the sender
