Thumbs up Temp or Oil Sender adapter 1/8 NPT ---> Metric

I found a very useful adapter kit with 5 different fittings that will connect a 1/8 x27 NPT sender to M10 x 1, M12 x 1.5, M14 x 1.5 and M16 x 1.5 and 1/8" x 28 BSP. This will enable you to put a temp sender in the passenger side head without drilling or tapping. Also some aftermarket gauge manufacturers are stocking 12 mm senders now. Check with your gauge company.

It is made by EQUUS, part number is #6848. Cost was less than $8 plus tax. I got it from my local Auto Parts. Much less expensive than the $16.50 for one fitting from one of the conversion specialists.

I will add this to the FAQ

I used that to adapt the Datsun oil sender to my LS1, it worked great!

All I could get a while back was a sensor adaptor with small pressure hole, had to drill the center out for the sender to fit thru, very easy way to snap the adaptor.
