Im installing an oil pressure guage (mechanical) and im removing the oil sensor on the back of the block and puting the supply line for the guage there, Where can I find a male (BNPT) fitting on one side that size that goes into an 1/8 NPT male fitting on the other side? Also I was thinking that I should coil the soft copper like that do on brake lines so if the motor moves there wont be any tension. Will this copper break from all of the vibration?

Thanks in advance, Matt

 

Autozone sells them, it comes in a kit with a bunch of other brass adaptors, its made by sunpro.

Brass is fine enough, as long as you know how to torque them.

</TD></TR></TABLE> Yup, thats the one, by the way http://www.mcmastercarr.com is the best place to go for plumbing like that--its such a good place. Once you see this stainless fitting (it is SO well made--especially for the money--I think z10 wanted $21 for a similar fitting) you will see that brass is GARBAGE for an oil pressure fitting.

 

I know how to torque them..the ones you are talking about (sunpro) really are crap. If you must have a brass fitting http://www.mcmastercarr.com (again) has very high quality brass fittings. They have sheet metal, titanium bolts, aluminum bolts, carbon fiber--basically anything having to do with machinery...

 

im doing the same thing today, hey what happened to redpepperracing? 4 days down??

 

I have a stainless steel BSPT to an AN4 fitting, but not to a 1/8 NPT.
