2H oil sender fitting size 1/8 BSP or NPT?

[GarethsSixty]

Just collecting a few last peices for my turbo, is the oil sender thread BSP or NPT? I was sure you needed 1/8 BSPT, but all the T peices available seem to be NPT, including the -4 nipples i have on hand for the stainless oil line....

Thanks in advance!!

As far as I know, all the Toyota pressure fittings(such as the oil sender unit) are BSPT--NPT may seem like it fits- but will leak. Check McMaster-Carr for the fittings-they carry most.--they have barb/and adapters from BSPT to NPT, if you want to go that route. Parker carries some(even JIS) but not in the sizes needed for the LC.

I thought as much, thanks! i suspect lots of people are using NPT because it screws in, and seems popular in the aftermarket....just about every Tee peice and fitting ive seen for sale on the net seem to be NPT...
