Thread pitch on series oil pressure sensor...

[KingSlug]

I am swapping in an 2.5 oil filter housing and want to hook-up the banjo bolt for the pressure gauge from a series. Unfortunately the housing is a 10mm bolt an the bolt is a 3/8", but I don't know the pitch. Its not a normal pitch count. Anyone know if its an NPT or something else? I going to helicoil the hole, to match the bolt but dont know the pitch needed.

I'm pretty sure it's british standard fine, the fine version of Whitworth. It was on my S3. Pretty much the only part on it with a british thread.

I may have an extra. Was going to use but put on spin on oil filter with adapter. You can email me at jhayes@ycrlaw.com.

Looks like the sender is 3/8"BSF and the sender hole is 10Mx1.5. The PO had a 3/8"BSF in a 10M hole, stripping out the housing. So now I need a 10M.1.5 banjo bolt, a 10Mx1.5 helicoil. Maybe I can drill and tap one of the extra plugs for the 3/8"BSF for the sender.

Heres what the housing looks like:

PH4, thanks for the offer but it looks looks like there are several places to get bolts, even 10Ms for a 3/8" banjo. http://www.jdaent.com/desktopdefault.aspx?tabID=5546&pCatID=814&CatID=1044
