LS sender sizes and other things

[marks914]

Hi Guys

We have had several folks asking for adapters to install our senders in the LS engines.

I think that the water temp is M12x1.5 is this correct?

I have heard that most guys have been drilling and tapping for the oil pressure, is there a better way?

What I'd like to do is have some sort of inexpensive "LS installation kit" for our gauge packages, not to make money but to augment the purchase and make it easier on the installer.

I am trying to make all of our kits as complete as possible, it might be better if we had a base kit and then you could add the vehicle specific install kit to the package.

Anything else that you can think of for this, or any other kit would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

When i put my 5.3L into my truck I used adapters from speedwaymotors in lincoln, NE. I had to put the water temp adapter in my lathe and bore the hole out for the sender as it was too small. i broke one off then had to buy another one so them i took material off the sender instead. you might look at a different sender. but i got it to work with these. hope this helps.

Looks like M12.5x1 for the temp and M16x1.5 for the oil pressure from what I can tell. Anything else that I might be missing? I saw that the competition has these for $10 each, sounds high to me
