I mean the thread size of the hole in the block. 1/8 npt is small.
The bung in there looks a fair size, suppose i might have to measure it when i take it out.
No one else know what the thread size is?

Make sure you don't overtighten when fitting the adaptor! It will easily strip the threads as i found 
. I had to remove the washer to get it to bight on the last two threads.
It has developed a very small leak after an oil change that was carried out last week. I don't really want to remove it as it may not fit again, i've got some threebond liquid gaskit to put around the adaptor. I hope it works!
