Hi. I am looking for a VDO Brass T piece to fit to the Engine Crankcase. its a VDO M10 x 1 for use oil pressure senders. Ideally i would like a custome one that can hold 3 senders, ie have 3 female threads and 1 male thread. If anyone can point me in the right direction where i can get one made or buy, i would greatly appreciate it! other wise i would just have to put 2 T pieces together!
Thanks
JM

Swagelok or Parker might carry something suitable in their range, can you give me the type and size of the 3 x female and 1 x male thread and I'll have a look for you.

Thanks Guys, the T-FITTING MALE IS 1/8-27 NPT, Guessing the females too as it is for the oil sender. I am running an electrical fuel pump and want to put in addition to my oil temp, oil pressure sensors, an oil pressure switch to cut the fuel pump when there is no oil pressure.

an oil pressure switch to cut the fuel pump when there is no oil pressure.

jebus, sounds like a recipe for disaster: Low oil level, bombing around a corner, oil light flickers on, fuel pump gets cut off, lift off oversteer, brown trousers...

this was on an industrial engine I have, it had an oil temperature cut-out switch and the pipe was a return line for the oil to one of the generator pedestal bolts.
sorry I cant sell it but it may help you get ideas.
