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.

yes technically it is metric

I bought a conversion fitting to make it into a grease hose SAE

you should not run rigid tubing
it will eventually crack
the leverage of standing up 5 inches, through the tin work, and then have a sender mounted on top... will cause vibration and eventually a crack

but hey.. .its only your motor oil pressure
why worry
