importwarrior Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hydraulic hose stores usually have the unusual sizes we need. BSPT Adapter so you dont have to tap the hole. 1/4 BSPT to Female 1/8 NPT maybe they have it. http://www.discounth...CFQcTHwodbfsCWQ http://www.discounth...male_p/9035.htm this looks great!http://www.discounth...male_p/9042.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 BSPT is tapered BSPP is sdtraight with most gauge threads they seem to be tapered NPT make sure to check the threads on your gauge thread pitch before ordering your adapter. This location will work for a dash gauge as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Provided by: AKNorthStar possible problem is that with this design and or configuration the gauge might hit the strut brace cross bar. the 90 degree fitting its like 5$ at parker store 1/4 male to 1/8 female http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u546/cjhippie/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/20150818_205432_zpsravfkjut.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
