bishbosh Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Following on from my VDO pressure sender thread, I need to acquire a custom adaptor to connect the sender to the engine. What I need is an adaptor with a 1/4" NPTF thread in one end and an M10 x 1 male thread on the other. Probably turned from hex bar stock? Obviously this needs to be hollow or line bored to allow the oil (and pressure) to reach the sender!! So, does anyone fancy turning one up for me... pretty please...? Beer tokens available.....

bishbosh Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 All the places I have called (DemonT, Real Steel, Merlin etc) have 1/8" to M10 but nobody does 1/4". Hence my request Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do you one but I don't think it would be before next weekend now. Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Bish runs away in horror at mick's machining offer What I should have said is I can get you one made at work if you still have a need If I made it it MAY serve as a wheel nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks for the offer Mick, but you have been beaten to it. I have had a kind offer by PM so, if he can find his NPT tap all should be sorted in a short while. If the tap has gone AWOL then I shall take up your offer! Cheers, Bish.

ciderman Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Bish I see you have tried a few for an adaptor , But have you tried an industrial supplier , I use BRT in Avonmouth , 9/10 they can get hold of what you want . http://www.brt-bearings.com/1024x768/products/pneumatic.html Just call in and get a catalouge then do the rest yourself .
