MG Midget and Sprite Technical - OIl Pressure Gauge Union

Can anyone please tell me the thread size into the block for the oil pressure gauge/oil pressure warning switch?Is it 1/8" BSP,1/4"NPT or 1/8 NPT.
I want to change the adaptor and Car Builder Solutions list quite a few.

I don't know for sure but did have this on the engine block on my Sprite. It is looking for a new home and I haven't gotten round to putting it on ebay. The pressure sensor is about 20lb or thereabouts.

Peter, I do not know the thread type but Minispares sell such oil fittings for an A Series engine block and two types depending on what you want to connect to them: http://www.minispares.com/product/classic/TP.aspx & http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Gauges/Cables,%20pipes,%20etc/CAM6431.aspx?1402&ReturnUrl=/search/classic/CAM6431.aspx%7CBack%2520to%2520search

Minispares also sell various oil pressure gauge pipes and fittings , as well as oil temp switches. Merlin Motorsport also sell adapters for blocks and gauges but need to know the thread type and diameter (or phone them to ask about for A Series engines in midgets and Minis as they must have supplied many for Mini and Midget rally and racing cars), I would expect they might know): https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/s/instruments-gauges-senders/gauge-fittings-and-instrument-accessories

Another useful company for oil related bits is Think Autmotive who make their oil coolers, remote filters, oil cooler kits, fittings etc under the Mocal brand: https://www.thinkauto.com/
