What the heck is a press sensor?
Do you mean Oil Pressuer Sensor?

I would not use copper. Vibration and heat will cause it to become brittle over time. I would not use plastic either.

Here's what I used to replace/relocate my sensor:

From Summit Racing

Autometer adapter ATM-2268
Earls fitting 982303ERL
Russel line RUS-658080
Russel fitting RUS-660410

From Lowes

Brass fitting 1/4 male to 1/8 female
Brass fitting 1/4 to 1/4 female

From Gene Culley gmpartshouse.com

Buick sensor 12584940

The finished prodict:
