Oil sender - x flow 1300
gharris333 - 21/9/14 at 06:36 PM

Hi all,
Does anyone know the thread size for the oil pressure sender on a Kent crossflow 1300? I think it's 1/4" npt, is that right?

I want to use a remote mount for the warning light and guage senders (like this: http://www.burtonpower.com/remote-oil-pressure-t-piece-kit-1-8npt-essex-pre-x-f-681f-lma095.html ) on my race car as there's not a great deal of room. Has anyone used one of these and is there any limitation on how high or low it can be mounted in relation to the engine?

Thanks, Graham

Cannt help with thread size I'm sure burton will be able to give you the correct parts ,but you can mount it anywhere it will make no difference to the readings.

Just checked a reference chart I have for all bolt/thread sizes on Mk1 Escorts. It says:-

Oil pressure take-off: 1/8 NPT for 681 blocks & 1/4 NPT for 691 and 711m.
