1.3 oil pressure switch thread size? To fit oilpressuregauge

Post by jibb » Fri Dec 28, 2012 9:14 pm

Hi there I need to find out what size the thread is on a g13 block for the oil pressure switch


I'm fitting an oil pressure gauge and oil temperature guage and would like to know what size adaptor to buy

On eBay there is an 3 way adaptor that says it fits Japanese engines but am unsure



Thanks for any info on my query!! :smokin:

:doublethumbs: depending what oil pressure sender you have it might be best to use one of the remote T-pieces, I can't use one of the normal ones as when its done up tight the oil pressure sender won't screw in as the oil filter is too close :thumbdown:

Iirc the water temp sender is 1/8x28bsp

The electric pressure gauges still need a t piece as the temperature sender is 1/8npt but the advantage of an electric one Is you don't have to run a copper capillary tube through which looks messy and is not very flexible. But I opted for this type as it was cheaper :smokin:
