Absolutely do not ever mix BSPT and NPT. I believe the angle is different. They will Mate and Leak. Don't need damaged threads! My Machinist book is at work. But I know for a fact and from an experience, they are not compatible. Never try it.

Going back to check your link.....

.....Interesting info. I'll keep this in mind.

I need to mount a Oil Temp and Water Temp Gage in my Pillar Pod. I'm in need of guidance as to where the best ports are located for each function.

Those are a bit pricey, but look like the quaility I'd want to use, and be willing to pay for. Excellent info Roy, hope this all works out. Interesting site.

If I remember, I'll post details of the 2 threads tomorrow night. And I'll look at the hose.
