Title: oil pressure and temp sender size
Post by: wolfswest on September 26, 2008, 07:56:22 am
Hi,

I'm planning to order my vdo temp and pressure senders but I have one last question.
I'm going to fit these with the "Tee" fitting so I can use two senders in one place.  The hole near the distributor on the left side where the original idiot light sender is...

Is this 1/8 27 npt  or m10 x 1  ?  I have an autolinea case if this helps...

thx

Dem

yeah,

but when you look in the books and most internetshops (aircooled ones) they sell the 1/8 npt models...  ???
So I'm a little bit confused here?  I already have a "Tee" part that I used with my autometersenders so I guess this is 1/8 npt because autometer supplies standard the 1/8 npt models...  Correct me if I'm wrong

You will find most autometer senders are Imperial, VDO do senders in metric, your just not checking the right shop ;D

 ;D  My mate has a tool to check which wire is on it...  I will test it first before I order parts. 

my "Tee" part that I already used with my autometersenders is from vdo...

I use a double " T " autometer pressure sender only for the guage, wanted the idiot light too.
