Looking for an-npt fitting /adapter
-8 an female to 1/8 npt female, Lots of googling and havent been able to find one
|
That would be a unique combo (1/2 to 1/8 npt)
Suggest 2 possibilities AN-8 Cap then drill and tap to 1/8 NPT (may have to do some regrinding of the NPT to make it fit AN-8 F to 3/8 NPT M to 3/8 NPT F to 1/8 NPT F What are you trying to do? They do make AN-8 M to 1/8 NPT to AN-8 F |

Send me the #8 cap and I will drill & tap it for you.
ps- make sure your gauge won't fatigue and start leaking. I don't like mechanical gauges mounted on the engine or in the engine compartment. It's a personal thing. |
You can move the frt T that is drilled/tapped for 1/8Npt to the rear. :)
Edit in: Ooops. Re-read what you typed. You can get that T with a drilled/tapped 1/8"hole like the frt one,or you can drill/tap it yourself, or have someone like Mark at BAM do it as he graciously offered. :) |
If you get the fitting from BAM it will be right. Do agree, don't like fuel mechanical gauges feed by tubing to a gauge
Can also remove your current cap and install one of these and reinstall cap https://www.motamec.com/motamec-an-j...y-adapter.html Link is British but they make them here as well |
Easiest would probably be just picking up another T that’s already drilled and tapped for it. And he said sender for a gauge on the dash, so sounds like it is not mechanical fed by tubing going to the dash. |
Here you go, replace the T with a 90,so even better,this way you can lose that cap.

I have the usual little mech gauge stuck in the front port, I want to mount a sender for a pressure gauge on the dash at the far end where the cap is.(yellow circle)

:ernaehrung004:Well shoot! Guess I better find senders for water pressure and boost. I have poly lines running to the helm for both these gauges. |
Get a local hose company make you some nice high pressure lines.

Run an isolator for a mechanical gage so fuel isn't plumbed under the dash/helm.
Leaking boost pressure or water isn't as dangerous or flamable as fuel is. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/atm-5282/overview/ https://www.autometer.com/high-press...r-300-psi.html Instructions This isolator is installed in the pressure line between the carb or fuel pump (where you normally pick up fuel pressure) and the fuel pressure gauge. It has a diaphragm that prevents fuel from reaching the gauge (inside the driver's compartment). The driver's side of the isolator and the line to the gauge are filled with a fluid that transfers the pressure to the gauge. |
