Subject: oil pressure sender thread size.

Hello folks,

To install my oil pressure guage, I need the little hose adapter that
allows the sender to be mounted slightly away from the engine.  I found
one for much cheaper than any of the usual vendors, but I'm unsure if
the thread is correct.  The seller says it is 1/8 npt on each end.  Is
this right?  Is this the same thread as the hole it needs to go into in
the engine and the vdo sender?

Thanks again folks, you're all so helpful.

Greg.
