What thread size...?

[Bassfiend229hp]

Does anyone know offhand what thread size the oil pressure sender is on an RV8?

Is it 1/8NPT or 1/4NPT?

Cheers

Your supposed to be resting, Not working yourself up thinking about pressure sensors, unless you are thinking about plumbing one in to yourself.
Hope you are feeling better and will see you soon.

LOL - Hey - Now I know I'm immortal and cannot die then who cares about resting? I've been working from my bed in the Cardiac Care Unit all day today ... even done a customer login!

Well if you are well enough to do customer work what about work for the family?.
Shelly said can you forward the route to her please (if you don't mind).
You should change your user name to " Conner Macleod", of the clad Macleod.
take care mate, and no chatting up the nurses.
Jamie and Shelly
Ps On topic sorry I have no idea of the thread size.

The routes are on my PC back at home... I'll forward them on when I get out of here tomorrow.

(...and there's a rather cute Trainee Nurse buzzing around here called Stephanie thankyou very much... )

Oil pressure sender is normally 1/8"NPT - thats 27tpi.

1/4" is over 1/2" dia and 18tpi (threads per inch) for reference (BSP & NPT are typically around 1/2 the diameter which seems to confuse)

Plenty of thread charts on the internet so measuring diameter and counting threads per inch (or measure 10 in metric) will enable you to identify most threads with accuracy.

Cheers Spend - just trying to work out which sender to order - the 1/4" NPT one is £80 and the 1/8" NPT one is £102!!!

Behave yourself, But I suppose you are in the right place just in case "Stephanie" is a TVR fan.

I did suggest to her earlier that it was a bit out of order her doing my ECG!!!
