Question Oil temp. Wiring

I apologize to dig up and continue to beat this dead horse but...
Can any one tell me the best way to wire up a oil temp. gauge (none fairing mount) three wire.

Have dyna and found plenty info on sender placement but always talking about using existing wires.

Agian thanks for the other info, would not try this with out all your help.
