actually that gauge port on the Sard FPR is not NPT its BSPT

doesn't STRI or PROSPORT make a electric gauge for that size? i know it's for the interior, maybe not what you are looking for...

Can you get an adaptor or retap?

best bet is to buy the adapter,pegaus has them, i got the 1/8 BSPT to -3an and remote mounted the gauge.

re-tap, i wouldnt try b/c you WILL get schrapnel in it and it would almost be impossible to get all of it out.

now you can force the NPT fitting in BUT it will damage the threads and will make any removal/reinstallation difficult. (sealing wise, even with teflon)

oops

the two fuel fittings are NPT just the gauge one is BSPT on the directions it states that the gauge port is 1/8 PT which is BSPT, i tried to "reconfigure" and use gauge port as for the fuel and noticed the fitting that came with it wouldnt thread in correctly.

NPT is common for "AN" fitting as well as barbed fitting . and most (if not all) JDM gauges use a BSPT fitting. thats the only thing that i could think of....

drove me nuts till i figured it out...
