I bought an oil press. gauge but where do I fit the press. hose ?
And what tread is it ?
ZX12R 2003 in a MNR VortX 2009 with dry sump.
On the pic there is a sender of some sort.

i took my oil pressure gauge feed from where you have shown in the piccy
cant remember what thread but i took the reducing bush to an engineering firm who made a tee up for me so i could re-connect the origional pressure switch for the clocks

i'll dig through my emails see if i can find the thread size

yeh i took mine from there too, i think its 1/8 BSP if im correct but i also took the oil pressure switch (the bit the arrow is pointing too) to a local hydraulics place and they made a braided pipe up and T piece.

Be carefull when refitting it as that bush is soft and easy to strip.

Went into a hydralic store today.
They had everything I needed.

Thanks.
