Adapter - Does is exist?
Adapter - Does is exist? I'd like to use an ICT Billet 551533 or LSx Innovations OAL22 for two pressure senders. One of the senders is metric, so I'm trying to find an adapter that is 1/8" NPT male to M12x1.5 female. Basically, the exact opposite of the Autometer 2277. I wouldn't this think this would be so hard to find but my search has come up empty. It appears to be unobtanium.
If I can't find it, I don't think there is enough material to drill-out one 1/8" NPT and tap it to M12x1.5. As best I can tell, 1/8" NPT requires an 11/32" drill bit while a M12x1.5 requires 10.7mm, which is equivalent to 27/64".
The metric hole is only 5/64" of an inch larger...just under 2mm. I don't think that's enough to drill and tap?

I don't. I want three 
I'm keeping the stock LS2 sender that's behind the manifold so I can read pressure on an AeroForce scan gauge I'm going to use.
The other two senders are for a standalone aftermarket oil pressure gauge and the stock instrument cluster "idiot" light.

I searched. This is the only thing I could find. I'm not sure it's what I need, though. It says "hose end."

I'd prefer to find a solution that would allow me to keep a single sender up top and two down at the oil pan.

The 1/8" NPT sender came with the Prosport oil pressure gauge.

The idiot light sender is M12x1.5. It's the OE BMW sender. The brand is FAE. I have no idea how I'd source a 1/8" NPT sender that would be compatiable with the stock BMW idiot light.

I have three senders on mine, two pressure senders at the back of the valley cover (extra one tapped in to the side of the riser for the OE oil sender. The third sender is oil temp, and is connected down by the oil filter, on a boss for my Improved Racing oil cooling system.

This gives you two 1/8" NPT ports and one M12 port, just choose the M12 adapter fitting option.
The reason an adapter is hard to find is because M12 is larger than 1/8" NPT, so the adapter will add a lot of length to the port.

Just not sure how well it would work having one of the fittings sticking out horizontally, with regard to header clearance. I guess I'll have to get the engine and header back in the car again before choosing which adapter to use.
