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. |
