NPT to metric adapter? Not sure where this goes, but my best guess was in here. I received my autometer gauges earlier this week and was wondering where I could buy a 1/8" to M16x1.5 (I think that's the size) adapter so I can install the water temp sending unit behind the starter. I've tried looking for it around town, but no one seems to have any type of adapter from NPT to metric. Is there any local store you guys know of where I can buy this or someplace online? I'd like to install the gauges this weekend and this is what's holding me back. 
On a side note, I fabbed up my own panel that goes in front of the shifter (where cig lighter is) to mount the gauges. I'll post pics later.

Here are the pics of the panel on the center console. They're oil and water temperature, both electrical. Does anyone know where I can buy the adapter?

AutoZones around my way have several tray-boxes
of this kind of thing, that they will pull out if you
know to ask. Not worth keeping on the shelf in
blister-paks but they have more than meets the
eye.

None of the local auto supplies had that part for me. I got mine from Summit. Or you can try here for a few bucks cheaper.
