Hey, 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. 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? Thanks, Jake --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger
