I am looking to fit electric oil pressure and temp gauges to my track car. I want to buy a sandwich plate, but need to know which of the following is the Soarer TT thread size for the filter.

M18-P1.5

M20-P1.5

3/4UNF-16

I would have thought, being Japanese, it would be one of the metric sizes, but the "guide" states Toyota is the 3/4UNF size. This is on ebay though, so I wouldn't put money on their accuracy.

if you have a filter kicking around measure the inside diameter and as a guide add the pitch measurement and that should get you close enough to tell what size it is but thats the only solution i can offer you but maybe someone will know
