Anyone know the size of the threaded port adjacent to the filter on a Raceline Oil filter mount?- I wanted to install my oil pressure sending unit in this location

When I changed everything, or almost everything, I hung onto the oil pressure sensor from the original build, which used the Raceline adapter. The sensor linked back to the Raceline adapter via a braided steel line & fittin... er... fixing. Anyway, while changing to the dry sump I asked SBD, who supplied the MoCal oil filter adapter I'm using now, what theirs was off-the-shelf. They said:
"It is taped 10x1mm, but it would also be suitable for your 1/8th BSPT as well, since the thread sizes are very close to one another and the picture you sent to me could be either, but it definitely looks tapered."
So I screwed it into what I had into what they supplied, w/ a bit of Teflon tape. No problems then, no problems now. It's probably 10x1 mm. Maybe stop by a hardware store and pick up one or both of same and see which one threads in best.

After looking at brake lines on my Cat, found that the MC is 10mm even though the nut is 7/16 or 11mm. Also was told that 1/8 NPT could be threaded into 3/8 NF or 10mm. One of the differences is 24 threads per inch, 27 threads per inch or 25.4 threads per inch.
This also means that a 10mm brake line could be used for a mechanical gauge. Also some stores have adaptor brake lines with different threaded nuts.
