When I ordered my Autometer Cobalt gauges they came with the adapter plate which works perfectly! Most of those plates come with at least 4 ports, make sure you tape the ones you're not using other wise you'll ask yourself, "Where's that oil coming from?" I ordered mine from our Markeplace under vender interior...Gary

Thanks Gary!

I just want to make sure I get the correct one. All the plates I'm finding are 1/8 NPT but the racer gauge sensors are 1/8 PT

I did some research and it looks like 1/8 PT male fittings will fit into 1/8 NPT female fittings but they wont seal. Can anyone confirm this?

Edit: Just gonna use these,

I was just thinking, those adapters wont be a good idea will they? Wont they alter the effectiveness of the sensors since the sensors will be further away from the oil than intended?
