Default Help Finding Thread Adapter

Hey all,

I've been to several hardware shops around town trying to find the following thread adapter but to no avail:

1/8 npt female to m12x1.25

Looks similar to this:



My oil temperature sensor is standard whereas the oil pan spacer uses metric. Any ideas? I'd rather not have it machine shopped.

but if this is a need it now kinda thing.....

go to 24hour autozone - wait here me out.......go to their section where they sell the cheap gauges and buy the cheapest oil temp gauge they sell, prior to walking out, open the box and inside they will have your adapter........

that ordeal will cost you about 14.99, but you can get it now that way.....

oh and you can use the gauge as a key chain....

Unfortunately the adapter Jason had was the wrong size so the search is back on.

If anyone can help me find this adapter size I would greatly appreciate it!
