    Oil pressure sender, Where to source?

    As per title anyone one know where to source a new oil pressure sender for the gauge and warning light?

    There's loads of copies on eBay by the looks of it though most are the wrong thread or pressure range.

    If anyone has a decent second hand one I'd be interested.

      Nice one Alex, so that's a genuine VDO unit the only catch being the tapered thread? I can borrow an M10x1 die so not a big deal.

      Looks like they still do them as well.

          So M10x1T seems to be the correct size something like: http://www.rallyshop.it/index.php?ma...30b9123b76fcbf

          Though it is unclear if the "T" really signifies parallel vs the german "K" (keg) which means taper.

          Interestingly, 911s use a M10x1 parallel thread so something must be available for those of us without the correct die.

          Looks like the later cars ex 964s run a larger thread which may match the C4s
