Title: M12 x 1.5 male to 1/8 NPT female adaptor
Post by: sanzomat on 07, October, 2015, 10:11:22 PM
Anyone got one of these lying around in your toolbox/garage/shed?

My oil pressure sender is 1/8 NPT but the hole to screw it in on the new engine is M12x1.5. DOH!

I have one, almost 100% sure. But I think it is an alloy one. I used an alloy one with a two way adapter for the oil lamp switch and the pressure gauge. The combined weight broke the alloy adapter. :(
I used a steel one in the end. Got it from ebay. I'll have a look for it.

Thanks for that. That one is male to male.

I'm thinking this one might work and would give some options as to the angle of the sender as its a bit tight around there!

Amazed that the weight of a couple of switches would break anything - must be some heavy switches you have there - weight saving opportunity!!

If you do find it let me know. I'm a while off putting it all back together!!
