After market gauge adapters?

[metalmonkey47]

Anyone know where I can find proper adapters for oil pressure and water temp sensors to adapt to an A series? Both adapters are 1/8NPT I think, but I don't know what the correct size is.

1/8 BSP autometer sell them. it goes in the block where the sender used to go.

Well, I checked up on that but my water temp sender is way larger then 1/8. Assuming all are going to be BSP right?

water temps I have no clue. I trust the stock ones and dont want to run a catapiller line to the dash.

 

I had one once and was just lucky that it fit.

Mines all electronic so

 

Plus the stock ones didn't work very well.

 

Maybe I'll have to make a few phone calls

lol Ratsun style FTW!

 

How would you recommend it though? What kinda parts am I lookin for?

Take a look at your gauge, take a look at where it connects. Figure out what you will need, pretty simple. IIRC hainz said there was a good type of line to use if its manual water/oil gauge that lasts a while.

do you still have the old sending unit - take that - take your new one walk in, mix and match. your making it harder that it needs to be. Hell, there a chance you could find what you need at home depot - thats where i got most of my fuel plumbing.

lol my new gauge is elecrical, not mechanical, so I don't have to run any annoying lines. Just wires
