[DML] Re: Oil pressure sensor



All 1/8" pipe fittings on the PRV are BSPT -- 28 TPI (versus 1/8" NPT
-- 27 TPI). Such fittings are very easy to obtain mail order (McMaster
Carr for example) but are rare over the counter. I'd recommend adding
1/8" BSPT tap & die to your American set for just such emergencies --
you could have turned down the smooth part of a 3/8" bolt to plug the
sender hole.

BSPT are handy for custom work too. I replaced my PCV valve (unique to
my installation) with a calibrated nipple from a surplus cold start
tube. Nipple threads are of course BSPT. Used my tap to modify a brass
fitting to join the nipple to a larger hose barb (again, unique to my
installation).
