As a rough guess, i would estimate M12 - but it\'s merely a guess, and probably pointless waste of my time.

However, you could always take the sensor down to a motor factors who supply nuts and bolts, and compare it to several bolts until you get the right size. :)

I bought this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&item=320033105028&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) one :)

Fitted it at the weekend, good design, easy to install as well :)

Most aftermarket senders are 1/8 so make sure you get the right one ;) :)

Guys, sorry if I misled you but I should have said thread size is 1/8 BSPT not 1/4 BSPT.

Sorry if I have caused any problems. (makes note to self must proof read my threads) :Hammer

No worries Gaz :)

Not even fired the car up yet as I\'m working on a bit of a special dash project so I\'ve only just managed to get all the wires into the cabin this weekend.

I used ptfe tape on the temp sender and used a good rubber washer on the pressure sender, so it should all be good :)
