crossflow temp & oil sender connection thread?
the waqter temp and oil pressure sender look very similar; about the same size and also appear to have a threaded rod sticking out; does anyone know
the thread?
At the moment I have a push on connector but a nut and spring waster would be more secure. (all I know it is not a metric thread).

Oil sender thread is 1/4" NPT, not sure about the coolant one though but could be the same although I thought they were bigger??

Now finished! Xflow-Zetec swap with GSXR TB's and Megasquirt.

I think he means the one at the other end - where the electrical connection is made. My oil sender used some rubbish USA size that I happened to have
at home... some number size or other.
Everything else is UNC or UNF on the engine, so it'll be something along those lines...

As far as i know it isnt a specific thread, as already stated basically a barb type affair to grip the push on connector. I replaced my senders and
new ones had spade terminals but for the coil i cut the plugs off Sierra loom and grafted these onto my loom. Works a treat.
If you are concerned about them potentially falling off you could route and secure the loom in such a way that the plugs are better supported.

It's certainly a thread on my oil sender - I have a ring terminal held on my a bolt. However, my temp sender had a push-on connector (the
replacement now has a Lucas spade connector).
If the push-on connector is reasonably tight then that's more than enough - in my case there's only 6" of wire hanging from it, in a
slack loop.
