steveb Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I have just come to get a boss to weld into my IC pipe for the delphi air intake sensor supplied by Link for my turbo mx5. I thought the thread looked like M16 x 1.5 mm but it isn't. Can someone tell me what thread it is? I'm suspecting 3/8" NPT (18tpi), can someone tell me if this is correct?

ashesman Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 You are right about the NPT thread. It is tapered thread. The boss can be supplied by a Link dealer in Aluminium or steel. It is an uncommon thread, most people wont have this thread tap...

steveb Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks Ashley, yes virtually unused in the UK, I've ordered the recommended Bosch Sensor that is a push in fitting with securing bolt as the local engineering firm said they could knock a boss up for that in a few minutes. My local LINK dealer said they would have used a hella AIT sensor instead, so I thought i'd go with the recommended Bosch item intead (also cheaper) thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
