Oil Pressure Sender Thread Adapter-K Series

[A7 OOH]

Does any one have lying around a M10 x1 male to M12 x1.5  female thread adapter for use with Caterham  OP sender, or can point me in the right direction to obtain one.

Thanks

Hi Gordon. I've got all of my thread adapters from LMA via JJC Race and Rally. However, I don't know if it works having a larger female thread than male. You might be able to drill and tap the oil filter takeoff for an M12x1.5 thread? It means taking it all apart and making sure no swarf gets into the oilways though.

The full selection of LMA bits are below:

It must be possible to carefully pick some bits to make things work out. Good luck!

Thank Mankee

I​ am using a remote unit with a tee piece, one side feeding a Stack oil pressure sender the other a k series sender which is M10x1, which I suppose if push came to shove I could strip out the T piece and tap to M12 x1.5.

I will check out your supplier, it must be possible to  get a converter.

if you can't find a rigid adaptor how about a custom hose with the right size ends?

You could change the remote T-piece for one with suitable threads? I have a low pressure switch on one side of mine and the other is for a mechanical oil pressure gauge. Take a look at these:

Pretty sure the filter housing has 10mm and 12mm threaded holes.

Thanks guys

What I thought would be a simple task is turning into a marathon.

I only wanted to replace the k series sender as its readings are erratic,  I have a stack sender fitted which gives steady readings, but I have to keep switching the stack unit through its various read outs to check.

I thought having a reliable k series sender in the system would make life easy while driving.

If I can't find an adapter I will just put the new sender with M12 x 1.5 into a spares box and use the Stack.

Running remote from the filter housing- I don't want to go back to the housing with its inherent problems.
