MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Oil Pressure gauge thread

Just a quick one.

Does anyone know what the 1500 Oil pressure thread is? Is it 1/8 BSP?

Checked, Debs says it might be 1/8 BSP but wasn't sure. Couldn't find anything else

I think you'll find it's 1/8 x 27 NPT (National Pipe Thread,) it's a tapered thread. Speedograph Richfield is a good source of fittings, see the link below. I've had stuff from them.

Christian I am terribly sorry - I don't have a pressure gauge - so no tapping to measure...!

Its been so long since I last drove the car I forget what the dash has on it !
