I've done a search here but can't seem to come up with anything.. Can anyone tell me what the thread is on the oil pressure sending unit? As in 8x1.5 , 10x1 , whatever.. I'm looking to run the typical T with mechanical gauge and the idiot light. But I'm not gonna run paint ball hose or a grease gun hose. Probably copper tubing. It will handle vibration and heat. Or stainless if I can find some around here.

Why did I get involved in this? I'm usually not so easily baited into posting, but here we go. The Spyder threads are metric, but will not thread into my case. I have a Snap-On Metric tap and die set, and it includes a 1/8-28BSP tap, which threads easily into my case using only finger pressure without cutting threads. 1/8 NPT is 27 tpi, so it may be close enough to thread in and seal.
I have a ton of new 1/8 NPT fittings, and they do not easily thread into the case. I get maybe 2 full threads until it wants to bind. I don't have a sending unit to measure. |

Why did I get involved in this? I'm usually not so easily baited into posting, but here we go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I posted too early. I remember researching this a few months ago and studied that thread that Mark posted above. I was planning for the Oil Pressure sensor I'm installing as part of an engine rebuild. I've used the stainless steel paintgun hose before, and I wanted to do it again on this engine. Now I recall that threading the paintball hose (with the 1/8 NPT) directly into the case didn't feel 100% right at the time, and I was worried it was stripping a bit. For the engine rebuild I purchased a 10mm to 1/8 NPT adapter a few months ago. The 10mm threaded into the case perfectly. |
