But not my cup of tea..They have a whole bunch of T-Pieces. But as no body knew what type of thread the BA oil sensor had, conversation ended there.. Sure, I could pull the existing unit out, and get them too match it. but that's too hard Does anyone know what thread the existing oil sender unit is?thanksDanny.

What IS the thread... I can pull it out, but I prefer not to unless it was to put the t piece in..danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that part number from a thread on here by ZAP F6 (thanks ) and it fitted no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
