Im after a 1/8 npt female to 1/4 npt male adaptor for my pressure sender.

Wheres the best place? Burtons have one for nearly 8 quid posted?

Any local engineering supplies place should be able to sort you.

Will only bea few quid for a brass one.

Hydraulics engineers should be able to help for peanuts

Hello Dan,

Go down to PIRTEK on Wherstead Road. I got a couple of adapters there for reasonable money when I couldn't find anything anywhere else. They have everything on the shelf.

Cheers
Stu.

another vote for pirtek..... rally design/merlin and others wanted £20 odd quid for a couple of bits I wanted + post.

Pirkek, £5

As long as the thread length is short it is not uknown to bodge NPT with bsp fittings.

On both the difference in T.P.Iand O.D. isn't massive - 1 tpi and 0.08-0.09 mm in both 1/8" and 1/4" bores

1/8" to 1/4" BSP adaptors are cheap as they are used for airbrush to compressor connections.
