What's the thread size for the oil pressure sender on an early 1.9 DG.
I'm sorting parts out to fit a wet pressure gauge.
Thanks :ok

M10X1 same on all WBX
You can check it by looking at the switch spec on Brickwerks website

be careful to check your t piece will fit I went for a remote one because I had an electric sender but if it's just a pipe a 50mm one may work, looks tight though

My wet gauge has been in for several years now.
I fitted two T pieces together from demon tweeks to get it in a position to attach the pressure switch and the ptfe tube.
However they sell the proper thing now
