Oil Temp Fittings

[eightsixboy]

Im trying to find a t-piece fitting so i can run my aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauges. Pressure is fine as the sensor fits in the block, the temp is the issue as it uses a M12 by 1.25 thread.

I went to enzed and they do nothing in M12 by 1.25, which is annoying as if they dont have anything wtf are you meant to do?

Surely there is a place that sells or can make a fitting for me?

I would just make it or modify an existing BSP one. Where are you located? What thread goes into the block?

I wish i found these guys earlier, m12 1.25 -> 1/8 npt

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunently that fittings the wrong way, I need a female m12 by 1.25 fitting.

The block fitting is 1/8, same as my new pressure fitting on my guage, but the thread on my temp sensor is m12 by 1.25.

I basically need a t-piece that has 1/8 male to the block, and 1 1/8 and 1 m12 by 1.25 female fittings.

Its annoying that these arnt common, even ebay has failed to bring something up.

So your saying youve got oil temp nd oil pres sensor and the temp is 1/8 npt and pressure is same as block which is 1/8 bspt. Go to enzed get a 1/8 npt female tee, then get a 1/8 npt to bspt converter male to male for block to tee.and also another converter male to female for your pressure gauge and the temp will just go into the tee.

Now i wpuldnt trust those two sensors hanging off the block with a tee as they might snap off from viberations so i would do one of two things.

1 get a oil filter sandwich plate and stick the temp sensor into that and put press srensor intp stock location.

2 get a braided line with one end screwed into block where and the other end into the tee setup as above then mount the tee secured somewhere so as to not suffer from vibratipns. All the stuff you need can be found at enzed.
