Subject: Re: Oil pressure sender thread size?

I think the metric size is 10mm, but I've never had leak troubles
using standard US 1/8" pipe thread fittings(brass) from NAPA or other
vendor and putting red or blue loctite on the threads(cleaning the
female block threads with solvent and a stiff tooth brush.

.....but then I've never intended to re-install the factory OP switch
in the block hole either. YMMV
