Right, picking up a new Splitfire today and it says it comes with the following:
OIL TEMPERATURE
Includes 6ft. of copper tubing and 1/2" NPT fittings.

Is NPT the correct threading for the sump on my RST? I've called nomad but he cant get any in for another 2 weeks or so. So basicly will this fitting work?

Cheers,
Dan

thought it would have been easier to get electrical one than mechanical one.

burton power sell the sump plug fittings

burton sell the sump adapters, cos i bought 2, (broke the first one ) mine fitted fine

B19-TRB

1/8npt i think is the 1 i used b4 i tapped the sump!

I had mechanical 1s in my cossie!

I have, but could only find the fitting kit that came with the mechanical one.
So how is the electrical one fitted?

:EDIT: found it: Includes 1/8 inch electric sending unit, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch NPT adaptors.

my oil temp came with sender and gauge,

just need to run one wire from sender to gauge

DanS

ok it has two bosses (1/8 and 1/2) and says they need to be welded into the sump and the sender screws into that.

Now my car is currently at my local garage being sorted for MOT, if i ask them to fit this will they have to do a full oil change?

On a RST??? steel sump so that' mean removing and welding the sump and them drilling and tapping the piece you'd welded on......... adaptor does exactly the same job but 5% of the work

DanS

fook sakes...

Burton do one but for 1/8" senders... and i got a 1/4"
