I just got my new water temp. gauge, and Id like to mount the sender where the cluster gauge sender is. My problem is I cant find anyone anywhere selling a 1/8pt female to 12x1.25 male fitting. The comanys website of the gauage i have shows an adaptor that they sell, but none of the US distributors have it or can get it. I've emailed the company, and they pretty much told me to contact the US distributors. Heres the gauge in question, and the adaptor I need is listed at the bottom. Anyone know where I can find one?

http://www.nissport.com/ I think is what you are looking for. I needed the adaptor for an autometer oil and temp gauge and they have it in stock.

The only thing I've seen there is the adaptor to put in your upper hose, which is my backup if I can't find what Im looking for.

Jeg's might have something like this like some said above.
They car a few different manufacturares fittings like Earls, Aeroquip, and Russel. Take a look.

you probably won't find that anywhere. You can make a fitting which is probably more trouble than it is worth. You can drill and tap a new hole somewhere. Greddy makes one though but good luck finding it. You can try to contact SPL, they used to sell them but now only sell them with gauges I believe

you can't retap m12x1.25 to m12x1.5. You could enlarge to m14x1.5 thread though

Take an oil pan drain bolt (m12x1.25) and drill through it and tap it for 1/8 NPT, done. You can buy them already done for BSPT, but I haven't seen one for NPT.
