Oil pressure gauge

Hi, sorry been on hollybags.

No I didn't but @Tirran has been looking at fitting an oil pressure gauge aned I think the thread is the same off the oil filter.

Tremendous, I'll wait to see if @Tirran knows.
Hope you had a good time on your hollybobs

Yes, it was great, the weather was a tad dreech for the first day or two, but after that it was stunning.
I drove, over a week ,through several Bob Ross paintings.

I bought this adapter from eBay 124544269214, I have yet to fit, but there is a YouTube video with a South African guy fitting one. Looks vet straightforward. I can measure if this isn’t what you are after.

THREAD SIZES:

Engine Block: M10 TAPERED THREAD (the thread is tapered so the side port can be angled in any direction)

Oil Pressure Gauge Sensor: 1/8npt

Cheers mate. I've got an oil pressure gauge fitted via an adapter at the oil pressure sensor point. I just bought a kit that fitted my engine, so didn't need to ID the thread size for the gauge or adapter. I'm after putting an oil pressure regulator between the block and the turbo, in line with the high pressure oil feed. Makes sense that the turbo feed might be the same as the oil pressure sensor. Many thanks
