Default Fuel Pressure Gauge - Send Unit ?

I did a search and came up with 3 results that didn't really help me out too much. I am assuming that I need a brass T, that accepts 5/16" fittings/barbs, that I can run inline on a fuel send line (from the tank to the fuel rail)?

Is there another solution to just getting barb fittings and some hose clamps?

I attached a picture I came across that shows a fuel send unit installed, the Defi send unit is set up similarly, except it is hardwired into the send unit instead of having a clip that clips onto the sender. I am guessing I will just need to take the send unit into the hardware store with me and match up a fitting size to it.

Yes the alternative is the AAM fuel pressure block adaptor that bolts onto the factory fuel condensor...heres some pics...

Top right...look for the brass colored cannister


Far right look for the white label on the wires...just forward of that is my sensor screwed into the adaptor

I am completely lost in those pictures, I can't really tell what you are trying to get me to look at? Sorry... I probably can't get one of these delivered to my house by tomorrow either? Doing the install on saturday...

OK well almost all fuel pressure sending units are the same. Sensor is 1/8" NPT. In my case I used the adaptor from AAM to tap for fuel pressure. This is the adaptor
The next two pics show where the adaptor installs (without cutting any fuel lines) The sensor screws into the adaptor and is seemless install wise. AAM can probably overnight one to you if you call them

Seems like I missed out on AAM's initially pricing.. I am going to "inspect" that area of the engine bay and see how tough it would be to just do a brass fitting; I'd rather use something much cleaner though.
