sandwich plate thread size??

[smokn4]

ok i know the little ones on my sandwich plate are 1/8 npt but dunno what size the thread is on the 2 bigger holes...

anyone know ???

want to install my plate onn next oil change but with the sensors/senders installed (on the 2 side ports) theres the 2 bigger ports... now unless they aare suppose to go somewhere i was thinking of installing a oil cooler on them so may put dash fittings on b4 hand....

so does anyone have any idea ???

to run an external oil cooler you can only install a special type of sandwich plate that diverts ALL of the oil through one of the holes that goes the cooler.

If you can see through fom top to bottom it can only be used for temp senders.

i just had another look at my plate...

with the center nut in (adapter bolt or what ever) you can not see throught it at all...

it seems to have a groove that gides the oil to the bigger hole and when i flip it upside down it looks exactly the same....

would this one suit an external oil cooler ??? or shud i upload a pic (if you dont get description)

pic might be good

yup this is the one i have.......

and them fittings on it is what i want.....

any idea of the thread size???

probably depends on the brand, they are usuall tapered though some make sure you use thread tape and dont overtighten them or you will split the alloy open.

Road and track sell all the fittings and have adaptors in stock so just take it in

might measure mine tomorrow if me gauge goes that big and i remember

[smokn4]

turns out the one i have is suitable for an extenal oil cooler....
