Cheaper from DT ..

 

Search 'LMA' T-piece

 

Seem to be M16 x 1.5 on the big thread in the block, and the oil-pressure sender from the XU9 engine is M10 x 1.0. is the size I beleive according to BlackMi16:D

 

You need a big crush washer also, otherwise it leaks out the block

Yup, that's the correct threads.

 

Had to double-check now as the eBay one seem to be M14 and 1/8 BSP threads.

i'm just changing from the mechanical thinkauto oil pressure early warning system to my KMS ecu controlled. For this I need to change the thinkauto variable sender on the bottom with a VDO 0-10 bar one.

 

This is the pic before i change the variable sender.

Why not just cut out the overly expensive middle man (dt) and go direct to le mans? They're bound to be cheaper.

thats a first. Tweeks not wacking excess dosh on, shock horror. However, going to your local halfords might help, they deal with Lemans, would save on postage.
