&gt;Subject: looking for a source for metric hardware
&gt;Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 18:39:12 -0700
&gt;
&gt;Hey,
&gt;
&gt;I am trying to cobble together a mechanical oil pressure gauge for my
1982 air cooled westy.  This gauge is to be used on a temporary basis for
trouble shooting (in other words it will not be connected to a gauge on my
dash).  I am also trying to rig up some sort of mounting kit for my VDO oil
pressure sender.  As many of you have discovered, the sender doesn't fit
without modifying the cooling tin or using some sort of adapter kit.
&gt;
&gt;I am having a heck of a time finding the necessary pipe and pipe
fittings to do the job.  The threads in the crankcase are 10mm X 1.0 pitch,
and not many folks make pipe fittings with metric threads.  Can anybody
suggest a good source?
&gt;
&gt;Thanks,
&gt;Jake
&gt;
