Default NPT Fitting question

Hey guys real simple question i just cant find the part i need

I have an autometer mechanical oil temp gauge and the fitting on it is a male 1/2 NPT style fitting..I need to convert this to a 14x1.5 (metric) to fit a b18c5 oil pan. Any idea where i can find this part..Ive been looking for a few days online with no luck

you dont have to go to the oil pan itself, just do it off of the oil pressure sender.

Hey bran...what about this contraption.....





1ST FITTING - 1/2 NPT to -6
2ND FITTING - -6 to -6 union
3RD FITTING - -6 to 14 x 1.5

Kind of excessive, but itll get the job done

i dont think that would work for oil temp. plus if you mount it in the head you will get residual heat from the head giving an inaccurate oil temp reading
