Default DIY adapter 1/8 npt fuel pressure sensor to fuel rail

Not sure how other people do this, but I needed to mount a fuel pressure sender on the fuel rail. No one makes AN4 female to 1/8 NPT female adapter. The LS-swapped Dakota got a hobbled up 3-piece adapter that cost way too much money for what it does. So I decided to fabricate my own adapter from a very inexpensive AN4 female to AN4 male pressure port adapter. Initially, I planned on capping the AN4 male end, but it was too long to fit under my engine cover. So I cut it off, tapped it for 1/8 NPT and added a brass plug from Lowes. Now I have the option of straight or 90 mounting location.

LSDAK 3-piece adapter.

Drill it out with appropriate size drill bit. In this case, 21/64 drill bit.
