    T-adaptors - Who sells them?

    I need a T-adaptor to fit an oil pressure and oil temperature sensor instead of the old warning light switch.

    Can anyone recommend somewhere that has these parts?

    I need 1/8 NPTF for the block (thread outside), and 1/8 NPTF inside thread for the temp. sensor and 1/8 BSP inside thread for the pressure sensor. This is an SPA dual meter, being fitted to a CVH.

    Maybe one of you can make this up? Otherwise I'd be grateful for some good links or telephone numbers.

    Thanks!

    C'mon someone must have a good contact for these things, even if it's just a hydraulics firm or similar. Can't any of you make this up for me - if so just name the price.

    The Think site is great - but they want well over 20quid for them.

    Is that normal? I was expecting them to cost a quarter of that!

    Toppy if you know someone in Oxford let me know as I have good connections there.

    Thanks for the tips though!

    Re: T-adaptors - Who sells them?

    I think that pic needs some explanation - how many adaptors have you got, and what is happening with the filter?

    Final question - how much do these adaptors cost?

    And the filter is just a convenient thing to wrap the hose round?

    Do you have a thread on your build - the details would be interesting...
