What size is the thread on the Oil Pressure Sender?

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.

Thats a 1/4 BSPT thread

[ds2000]

I bought this 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

[GAZ666]

Cool, thats the one I was looking for originally... My friend bought the same... did you use any threadlock at all? any leaks so far?

[FD3UK]

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

[GAZ666]

i\'ll let you off FD3UK...

but thanks to ds2000 I bought the same one as him now...

[ds2000]

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
