Oil pressure sensor size?

    Hi there,does anyone know the thread size of the hole on the side just above the thermostat that is used to measure the oil pressure on the VTS? I know it's 1.00mm thread pitch but is it an M10? Am I correct assuming that this can also be used to wire an oil pressure gauge? Many thanks

    I can't remember the size but this is where I plumbed my pressure gauge into.
    I used a remote pipe so the sensor doesn't mount directly to the block, http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfor...remote-t-piece
    They do a banjo version too so it's not too close to the manifold.

    That's quite expensive but will do the job nicely,thanks for the tip,I'll try with a M10 x 1.00 bolt and go from there.

    It is a little expensive but can save your pressure sensor (have heard they don't like vibrations).

    I made a bracket so I could mount it just behind the rad, then extended the wire for the original pressure switch.
