philfingers 5 Posted May 29, 2008 Alloy Mi16. Anyone know the thread in the block for the oil pressure sender. I want to fit an aftermarket gauge and need to know thread. My Gauge has a BSP thread. Where's the best place for an adaptor? Thanks, Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted May 29, 2008 Using a non to scientific method I think its M10 x 1mm pitch, same as the brake unions. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,542 Posted May 29, 2008 I also think its 10x1. 1/8 BSP also screws in loosely but isn't correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) that's what servicebox says for all the alloy blocks (XU5 7 and 9, 8 and 16v), Sender is M10x1.5, switch is M16 x 1.5 Edited May 29, 2008 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted June 1, 2008 I think its a finer thread than M10 x 1.5, brake unions are M10 x1mm & it threaded perfectly into the caliper which if it was M10 x 1.5mm it wouldn't do. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philfingers 5 Posted June 2, 2008 Aye it is M10x1.0 All I need now is an M10x1.0 to 1/8 BSP adaptor, Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VisaGTi16v 1 Posted June 2, 2008 Matt Lewis racing on ebay is where I got my t piece adapter and standalone switch. There is a thread somewhere on here with a photo and I cannot find it! Reason is that the thread started needed one like in the link below but my one was a much smaller thread, can only presume because I used the oil pressure sensor hole and he used the switch hole and they are different sizes?! Either way, if you know what you want this bloke should be able to sort you out Matt Lewis Racing Ebay Shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
