Gauges

Just purchased a pair Autometer oil pressure and temp gauges. The sender units that came with the gauges are not compatible with the Zed:( . Any ideas where I can buy some adapters to fit? Tried various searches but no luck.

 

Cheers

    Thanks.

     

    But does this mean there are no adapters on the market. If not, do you know the spec of the American thread (I thinks it's 1/8 NPT from another post) and what it should be tapped to for Jap spec Zed. Who can do the tapping and what's the approx cost? Sorry for all the questions, but really havn't got a clue on this one.

     

    Thanks again

    Ok first question are they mechanical or electric?

     

    I don't know if there are any adapters on the market,but even if there is,Its not worth the expense;)

     

    Any engineering place can retap the threads,will only take a few mins to do both.

    Thanks Mac.

     

    They are the Ultra Lite electric ones. So what should I be asking the engineer to retap the threads to?

    Oh:(:(:( I can't help you with the oil as mine is mechanical and fits just above the oil filter,not sure if the sender will go there on an electrical gauge:confused:

     

    Any pics of it?

     

    The water well you got two choices there,you can buy a SS top rad hose from Smithy and have your sender screwed into it (stock gauge will still work),or you can replace your stock sender and have it there;)
