With my usual good luck and amazing care(!), I've managed to break my oil pressure switch. (Connected the *switch* wire to the battery feed, rather than the other side of the light bulb. :embarrassed: What a moron.)
Now it's reading open constantly, which is not a good thing. I've pulled it out, and measured the thread, and would just like a little bit of a sanity check on my results.
My thread gauges say it's Whitworth, 18TPI 'G 5/16', and it's tapered... I did write down what I measured it as, but can't find that piece of paper any more. (It's probably still at work...)
Anybody know what thread it actually is; or -- in a less roundabout route -- where I could get a new oil pressure switch? (I'm going to try at the local parts place tomorrow, just in case they can find one.)
