Vkbikes Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hello, I've searched quite a bit and I'm just trying to confirm. I have a 1989 EA82 with turbo that i'm adding gauges to, and I'm trying to figure out what the thread size of the sender is. It appears that it's 1/8NPT x 27 on the oil pump, but i want to confirm that this is true. PS if anybody is interested in these I can get them to you at about $60 a pop.

DaveT Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's metric. It's very close to 1/8" NPT, but it is not, it won't seal. I have adapters from Amsoil, but don't know the metric dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) It is 1/8" BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) - if you are talking about the idiot light switch. The analog gauge sender I don't remember off the top of my head. GD Edited June 6, 2017 by GeneralDisorder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vkbikes Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) I have the digital dash, so no analog sender, i'm just looking to attach a VDO gauge . What's the best spot in the opinion of you experts? ] in all honesty, i plan on swapping the motor next year so it really is just for giggles right now, although the gauges will obviously stay.

DaveT Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I didn't even think of it being British pipe. That's a surprise! That's where I'd connect a gauge. The analog sender port is a lot bigger, don't know what those threads are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
