Smiths water / oil temp thread adaptors???
I am plumbing my Smiths (Caerbont made in 2001) oil temperature gauge. The threads on the capillary tube that goes into the oil pan end is a 5/8" UNF (unified fine thread).
Does anyone know where to get a high grade 308 or 316 stainless 5/8" UNF to 1/2" pipe adaptor. Both sides are male.
Thanks in advance,
Michael Strunk

5/8 UNF is also called 5/8-18 and 5/8 SAE

I used a standard "compression" type fitting adaptor, which of course was to small in the center for the thermistor (sensor) to pass through. So I drilled it out to the same size as the sensor. Works like a charm. I was never able to find an actual adaptor type fitting made for this application. I suspect such adaptors come with the gauge\sensor at the point of sale and if you don't get it then I don't know WHERE you would ever find it.
New Aviad road race pan replacing my old steel pan with welded in "bung" is why I needed one.

I had no issues with the water temp, fit right into the manifold. The oil temp fitting supplied was a BSPP(British standard parallel pipe) by 5/8-18 as you said. I didn't want to weld this fitting to the pan, and was unable to find a sealed bulkhead style fitting for the BSPP to screw into. I took a 5/8-18 bolt and drilled a 1/2 inch hole through it. Used teflon washers to seal on the pan, and inserted the probe through the bolt. Worked well.
