You could maybe piggyback to that buzzer a cattle-prods..one each. Inserted into a select orifice--which should be obvious---so its out of the way, when that things gives you a little ZAP! you'll notice.

I've been talking about either an oil pressure auto kill switch for me, or at least some sort of gauge. after reading this thread now I'm thinking maybe the super snazzy way is to have an auto kill switch at like 5psi, and then a low warning light that kicks in at some before the auto kill .. you could go completely crazy with gauges and warning lights . oil temp, oil pressure, light at X temp , light at Y pressure, coolant temp, coolant temp warning light , even coolant pressure warning ... How much makes sense say on a 4K motor ...

That sounds like a good solution.
1 big warning light and a few things that can activate it. .... and having gauges for those things. i'm thinking of buying something like this : 
seems like i could either move the warning lights, or do some careful re-wiring and make it so those lights still turn on + a big warning light on my side. 
I won't be buying anything until about April / May |

*sarcasm* for the coolant temp you just poke a small hole in the top radiator hose and push it in there good and far. a little plumbers tape to hold it into place
and for the oil temp and pressure ...... 
/Sarcasm When you do find out, i'd love to know, for my 2.5 |
