I need to connect in two gauges (oil temp & pressure) on my 4x4 and was planning to use a sandwich plate between the oil filter housing and the oil filter. The gauges use 1/8" NPT.

As far as I can tell from my research it needs to be 3/4" UNF thread on the filter, is that correct? I have seen some listings for cosworth sandwich plates with a 3/4"UNF thread, but also plates for FORD with 3/4" UNF that say "all models excecpt cosworth" so I'm wondering if there is something else I need to consider, like the OD of the filter or the size of the plate???

Cheers

3/4 unf is the right thread

Thanks Jon, I was just curious why a cosworth specialist had two different ones listed, the 2nd with 3/4 UNF that said 'not cosworth', maybe i'll just buy it and find out since it was cheaper

Tinshaw, a page from my mag feature, the gauges aren't connected yet but you can see where I located them. My stereo used to be in that slot but I moved it down so I could put the gauges next to the SECS monitor as that looks better and makes more sense I think. I just bought crappy chrome gauge facia that had holes for three 52mm gauges, and bought some carbon fibre 3M wrap and covered up the chrome shite, it loooks miles better, you could always spray it black as well of course.
