So I have this at home thanks to Debs 



Its a "(BNIB) 0-100 PSI gauge, 100mm diameter with a parallel 3/8" pipe-thread on the inlet"

This will be for forum use, but I'm a bit stumped as to where to go to make up connection cable to the V6, few people mentioned  a industrial hydraulic hose type place, but other than local DIY shop I've no idea where to even start 

Any suggestions for London (W3 area) or Brackley?

Think Automotive are right round the corner (more or less) in TW7 - not cheap, but they can probably mate anything to anything.

Pirtek are walking distance but hideously expensive.

Give Think Automotive a call.

I will almost certainly have a hydraulic hose, but would need an adaptor to go from imperial to metric to fit the oil pump thread.

[Kevin Wood]

Another vote for Think Automotive. Very helpful guys IME.

You might well get it done cheaper at a pneumatic / hydraulic place, though. All you need is someone who has a drawer full of fittings and who can make up a hose.

Thanks Chaps 

Perfect choice, its only a mile and half away from my office 

To confirm, I need a M14x1.5?

[Debs.]

  I sent a 1 metre hydraulic hose too (IIRC: with tapered 1/8" npt swaged-ends)......`so it should be just fittings/reducers that will be required for the engine and gauge-thread differences.

...take the oil pressure sender (along with the hose and gauge I sent) when you go to any hydraulics, fluid-systems or industrial plumbing supplier.

e.g: http://www.hydramex.com/agricultural.html#hydraulicRepairs

Perfect, thanks Debs   

I'll get this made up very shortly...

[Kevin Wood]

There are plenty of M14 to 1/8 NPT adaptors on Ebay, as that's a popular conversion to fit oil pressure gauges.

[Kevin Wood]

.. and yes, I believe M14x1.5 is the size you need but haven't verified it. Maybe someone with a breaking Omega could whip the sensor off and measure the thread?

[Dishevelled Den]

Well done to D&T.

I'm glad that Tunnie was the other part of this equation and not Chris.

17,000 miles of ignoring the problem, and now there is no problem

But for the sake of seeing what it's like....
