Default Fittings(NPT to Metric) For gauge hook up

Alrighty, ive been waiting a few weeks now to hear back from the Engineer from ISSPRO about the fittings i need to hook up my gauges. They haven't contacted me and im kind of done waiting on them. You figure if you spend almost $600 on someones product they would show a little effort to help you find THEIR parts for the install. The ones i have left to find are as follows:

Fuel Pressure (Running it to the drain plug on the engine mounted fuel filter)

Coolant (Putting it in the block on the drivers side where that plug is)

Oil Temp (Running it to the drain plug on the oil pan)


I took the drain plug out of the fuel filter and took it up to the local hardware store and it seems to fit pretty good in a M12X1.5. I just dont want to drain the oil and the coolant to get the right size thread, then have to do it again for the install!!!

Anyone know where or how i can find what size threads these are?

Might check out www.dieselmanor.com for install steps, they usually list everything in pretty good detail, and I'd bet you can find the fittings you're needing there too.

Yes, very good info.!! That would have nice to see when I was doing mine. I ended up having my buddy make most of mine for me.
