They might. I just liked the bigger size.

the senders...

first, i did the water temp.. since i could actually find the pieces locally at a Fastenall (they don't stock any british threads)

bought a 1/8" NPT all female T... 2 NPT male hose barbs.

cut the hose on the longest TB coolant and just put some hose clamps on the barbs.

for the oil pressure sender, i ordered from McMasters... 1/8" NPT to BSPT nipple... 1/8" NTP male x BSPP female fitting.. to go with an extra 1/8" NPT female T that I got from Fastenall.

The OEM oil temp sender is actually M12x1.25 (this car makes no sense)... I was going to just tap the pan, but then found some places that sell our oil drain plug (same size btw M12x1.25) that is already tapped with 1/8" NPT.
