everything should be 1/8npt threads. go to a local hardware store, im sure they will have a tee, they are usually just brass material. or if you want you can get an aluminum earls fitting

also note that if you want to maintain the oem oil pressure sensor it is 1/8" bspt threads so it may not seal properly with 1/8" npt. IMO it isnt really needed since it just a switch that come on below 5psi

With 3 or 4 wraps of teflon tape the OEM sending unit will thread into the female 1/8"npt. Same with the 1/8"npt going into the Honda block. DO not over tighten the npt fittings. The tape seals not the over torque.

There are a number of on-line stores to buy this from.
