#1 Oil filter housing s2

Post by Paul bow » Sat Sep 23, 2023 7:17 am

Hi guys..can anybody tell me what size adaptor I would need to go into my S2 oil filter housing at the pressure sender unit end..
So I have bought a smiths oil pressure sender unit that has a thread 1/8 NPT and so needs an adaptor to screw it into the housing. I did already buy a sender from one of the usuals and as ever it’s rubbish. I’ve been reliably informed from renowned engine builder that the items from demon tweeks are far superior.. let’s see!!
Any help gratefully received

You wouldn’t happen to know the thread size for the oil gallery bolts as well would you? So to fit a mechanical oil gauge, (to check the reading) many thanks
