No drilling or tapping required, all bolts together.


I just ordered this same dual in/out filter mount. Where can I get the threaded adapters to install the VDO temp/pressure sending units……Part numbers would be great.

Also would they be available in a retailer plumbing department?

Thanks

3/8NPT to 1/8NPT from the plumbing section at any decent hardware store works, but the temp sender itself came with a couple adapters too. This assumes you bought the 1/8NPT version of the senders.

I ended up using oil relief and have few trips on the buggy and seems to work well as a general idea of temp my VDO reads about 180-185 typically.

Was thinking of moving mine to the oil relief. Currently at the drain plug and wonder if it reads a little cooler because of air passing over it?
