Oil Temp Install With Pics at end
So I have the oil temp sending unit I want to put in the Allen hole in the front of the oil pan.
Okay I have to get a Adapter.
So if I pull the allen plug (to find an adapter) how much oil will I loose?
Any ideas, previous notes, suggestions?
Oh ya, does anyone know what size the bushing is? NAPA P/N?
Thanks guys

Iâd say it was Pipe Threads1/8" Female X 1/4" Male adapter.
The sending unit is definitely 1/8" Pipe.
(after looking at my trusty Swadgelok book)
But now that "soos" gave me a p/n I can look for it.

I'm getting ready toinstall the oil temp guage. I'm assuming that I will not need the "Adapter Kit" sold by H-D?

RE: Oil Temp Install and Oil Loss
if you do the work as I did on a cold engine. do not pull the oil fill cap off, you will loose about two tablespoons of oil when removing the the plug and installing the reducer and sending unit. I bought my kit from Wally's Cycle.
