Help needed with oil pressure switch

[jchase]

I managed to kill my car by removing the faulty Oil Pressure Switch. I got a replacement one, but it is _just_ too small, and stripped out one of the internal threads. The original has a tapered thread from 13.7 to 14.3 mm and the replacement was 13.4 to 13.7mm - didn't spot that. Is it possible one is metric and one is imperial? My local Motor factor crossed the GPS110 to an intermotor 50510... can't find anything about this anywhere... arghhh.

(and I failed my Motorbike test on the same day too)

The replacement sounds like 1/4 BSP, not sure about the original though. Try giving Rimmer brothers a bell www.rimmerbros.co.uk/

You are kidding right..

When I was a biker - my other half had to full my leathers off in this kind of weather - I could not get them off myself.

To hot for biking.

Give me an open top sports car with the performance of a bike - anyday
