Default Water Temp Guage Fitting

I have did a search an came up empty. I am looking for the exact fitting that will go into the head that will use the autometer sensor. I was wanting to know what the size was. I can basically get my hand on any fitting. Since I deal with them the majority of the time. Can someone please help me out.

I put mine in a T-fitting and did the TB bypass using the same thing. It's all hidden under the bellows too.

But I think this is what you're looking for though:

Its 1/8 NPT ID to 12 MM by 1.5 pitch OD .

Yea, It's probably not going to be metric. The only thing that Autometer has that fits is the tranny temp. sending unit. It fits in the side of the case in the pressure test port without any adapting. Pretty much everything else is going to take an adapter to make work.
