Wondering if anyone knows of a sandwich plate that has a 1/8" and a 3/8" npt port?

Looking to use the 1/8" for my pressor sensor and the 3/8" for my temp sensor.

The end goal is to replace the water cooled unit with a sandwich plate for the sensors, then a mocal moc-sp1ft on top of it routed to my external oil cooler.

Only issue is Trying to find a sandwich plate that has 1/8" and 3/8" npt ports

Any reason you dont want to put the temp sensor right in the sump of the pan?

I dont want to have to pull the pan to drill tap/weld bung clean all shavings, reseal/torque on oil pan.

And the 3/8" sensor I am guessing is the GM style temp sensor?

i know there are 100000000 different ways to skin a cat, but id like to stick to either;

1. keep it in the sandwich plate
2. run a tee off where the OEM temp sensor is.

According to my asian friend there is only one way to do it right...

Why not find a GM temp sensor with 1/8npt to work with most any sandwich plate?

i already bought the sensors, i was reading up on what sensors to use according to the megasquirt manual thing.

on the MSEXTRA formum a lot of the corvette guys are running an aem 1/8 replacement. It might be easier to buy a different sensor with the same curve as the one you have rather than finding a sandwich plate with a 3/8npt port or building a custom sandwich plate. The choice is up to you but what you are trying to do is becoming harder than it needs to be.
